TLDR
The recommendations are presented in the form of 'basic' practices, recommended for all acute care facilities, and 'additional special approaches' to be considered when there is still clinical and/or epidemiological and molecular evidence of ongoing transmission, despite the application of the basic measures.About:

Effect of antibiotic stewardship on the incidence of infection and colonisation with antibiotic-resistant bacteria and Clostridium difficile infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis
David Baur,Beryl Primrose Gladstone,Francesco Robert Burkert,Elena Carrara,Federico Foschi,Stefanie Döbele,Evelina Tacconelli +6 more
TL;DR: Antibiotic stewardship programmes significantly reduce the incidence of infections and colonisation with antibiotic- resistant bacteria and C difficile infections in hospital inpatients and provide stakeholders and policy makers with evidence for implementation of antibiotic stewardship interventions to reduce the burden of infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Controlling Hospital-Acquired Infection: Focus on the Role of the Environment and New Technologies for Decontamination
TL;DR: Forthcoming evidence on the role of antimicrobial surfaces could supplement infection prevention strategies for health care environments, including those targeting multidrug-resistant pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
NDM Metallo-β-Lactamases and Their Bacterial Producers in Health Care Settings.
TL;DR: New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase will remain a severe challenge in health care settings, and more studies on appropriate countermeasures are required, as commonly used phenotypic tests cannot specifically identify NDM.
