Selection of resistance by antimicrobial coatings in the healthcare setting.

The Journal of hospital infection - 1 Sept 2020

Abstract excerpt

Antimicrobial touch surfaces have been introduced in healthcare settings with the aim of supporting existing hygiene procedures, and to help combat the increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance. However, concerns have been raised over the potential selection pressure exerted by such surfaces, which may drive the evolution and spread of antimicrobial resistance. This review highlights studies that indicate...
