When <em>Clostridioides difficile</em>—a germ that is not typically antimicrobial-resistant but can cause deadly diarrhea and is associated with antibiotic use—is added, the annual U.S. toll of antimicrobial resistance exceeds 3 million infections and 48,000 deaths.

Infections can be associated with central lines, catheters, ventilators, and surgery sites. On any given day, about 1 in 31 hospital patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection. These are a major, but preventable, threat to patient safety. Preventing these infections protects patients, including from antimicrobial-resistant infections and sepsis.</p> <div class="dfe-curated-link dfe-curated-link--list" data-post="1409_141"><div class="dfe-curated-link__content list"><div class="dfe-curated-link__title"><a class="cdc-block-link" href="/healthcare-associated-infections/about/index.html">About HAIs</a></div> <div class="dfe-curated-link__desc">HAIs are infections that patients get while or soon after receiving health care.</div> <div class="featured download"></div></div> <div class="dfe-curated-link__download"></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion"> <div class="accordion-item"> <h3 class="accordion-header"> <button aria-controls="accordion-panel-rzRLy-mk_y" aria-expanded="true" class="accordion-button collapsed" data-bs-target="#accordion-panel-rzRLy-mk_y" data-bs-toggle="collapse" type="button"> <span>Parasitic Diseases</span> </button> </h3> <div class="accordion-collapse collapse" id="accordion-panel-rzRLy-mk_y"> <div class="accordion-body"> <p>Spread by the bite of an infective mosquito or other insects, or perhaps from eating contaminated food or passed from a mother to her baby, parasitic and neglected tropical diseases are responsible for an enormous global burden of illness, disability, and death.
