The jointly created material will aim to increase awareness of antibiotic resistance and prevent the infections that can spread that resistance.
“Ours is a natural alliance because strengthening health systems and clinical practice by cleaning, disinfection and process compliance reduces or prevents transmission of resistant bacteria,” said Stuart Levy, MD, president of APUA. “These are strategies that APUA champions globally and Clorox Healthcare helps realize.”
Rosie Lyles, MD, the head of clinical affairs for Clorox Healthcare, added, “Through this partnership, Clorox Healthcare and APUA will work together to raise awareness of this important issue and strengthen educational programs that inform best practices in infection prevention and antibiotic stewardship.”
