Antimicrobial products in the home: The evolving problem of antibiotic resistance
نویسنده
چکیده
Antimicrobial agents are increasingly being incorporated into a wide variety of products for use in the home [1][2]. Principles for the judicious use of antibiotics for common paediatric infections have been published and reviewed [3]. However, similar principles have not been established for antimicrobial products that are used in the home. The present position statement examines the risks and benefits of the use of antimicrobial products in the home and outlines appropriate home hygiene measures for common scenarios.
