What if your disinfectant is making bacteria stronger?
This short read explains how resistance forms—and why UV and copper still work. A reminder that smarter infection control starts with better materials.

Endotoxins—released by Gram-negative bacteria—can trigger deadly immune responses like septic shock.
Infection prevention is our best defense.

So glad to see hospitals paying attn to the flow & quality of air the staff, patients, and visitors are breathing.
A #VaccinePLUS strategy is key; making air quality a priority alongside vaccination will help reduce other #HAIs as well.
No downsides!

At this year’s #ESCMIDGlobal 2025, #ESGNI came together for a shared mission: a world with fewer #HAIs.
Calling on all current members and new members who wish to join us: Now’s the time to get active, get in touch, and bring your ideas.
Let’s turn discussion into action.

C. diff spreads silently on hands and surfaces—often long after patients are gone.
New study reveals 3x more environmental transmission than expected. This is why rigorous hygiene and surface safety matter.
