Abstract

Escherichia coli (E. coli) E. coli is a bacterium that is known to cause a variety of health problems, ranging from diarrhea and urinary tract infections to more severe conditions such as meningitis and sepsis. To prevent infection by Klebsiella, it is recommended to frequently wash your hands with soap and water, particularly after exposure to crowded environments where the risk of contamination may be higher. To reduce your risk of infection from A. baumannii, it is crucial to practice good hygiene by regularly washing your hands with soap and water — particularly after being in contact with surfaces or objects that could potentially be contaminated. It's important to work with your healthcare provider to use antibiotics appropriately and to follow good infection prevention practices to help reduce the risk of antimicrobial resistance.
