,Definition 6 of 171
What makes us prone to bacterial attack?
- Immune system/microbiota:
- Age
- Young and elders are most vulnerable
- Underlying conditions (i.e. diabetes, genetics)
- Viral infections (i.e. influenza)
- Physical trauma
- Medical procedures (surgeries, catheters, implants)
- Antibiotics (that's an interesting conundrum!)
- Drugs (anti-fungal, immunosuppressants)
- Lifestyle (smoking, drinking, sleeping)
- Hygiene (poor vs extreme)
- Diet (malnutrition)
- Not 100% effective = selection for resistance
- Genetic variation between bacteria of the same species hinders vaccine specificity
1: Require education and training accrediting bodies to include a model curriculum in
IP&AS that is taught at all levels of healthcare and continuing worker education.
Incorporate existing recommended core competencies
2: Highlight hand hygiene in curricula at all levels of training as a foundational
requirement for successful infection prevention. Recognize and apply successful tactics
for achieving high hand hygiene compliance in healthcare settings
- Numerous virulence mechanisms
- All studies targeted cell surface compounds (no variation?)
- Using wrong animal infection models (mice less sensitive to superantigens than
humans)
