IMAGINE is an acronym that stands for Improving antibiotic use in long term care facilities by infection prevention and control and antibiotic stewardship.
🦠After three years, the #IMAGINEProject concludes with a clear message: the fight against antimicrobial resistance must continue. A 27% reduction in infections in nursing homes shows that prevention and responsible antibiotic use truly make a difference ⤵️
