The Role of the Microbiota in the Prevention of Hospital Infections

Excessive use of antibiotics has resulted in the selection of multi-drug resistance bacteria (MDR). As an important public health threat, MDR microorganisms accounts for a large proportion of hospital-acquired bacterial infections.

description Excessive use of antibiotics has resulted in the selection of multi-drug resistance bacteria (MDR). As an important public health threat, MDR microorganisms accounts for a large proportion of hospital-acquired bacterial infections. Due to high incidence, non-traditional treatments are ideal alternatives to current treatment modalities and are a guide to prevent these infections. Understanding of the term microbiota and the increase in studies conducted in this area are considered as an option to restore microbiome and maintain its integrity, and thus prevent colonization and infections caused by MDR microorganisms. This complex microorganism community can prevent colonization with MDR microorganisms through immunological and biochemical interactions and competition for habitat and food sources. The future direction of infection control and antibiotic treatment is moving towards alternative treatment methods.
