Radiology:

A Hub for Superbacteria

In recent years there has been a tremendous increase in multi-resistant bacteria, which are   most often found in medical facilities. This means a high risk for each patient who needs to undergo any treatment in such institutions. Studies refer to more than 5.000 deaths in Europe, due to bacterial infections.

Radiology departments seem to play an important role in transmission of these infections, since inpatients and outpatients as well as medical staff meet here every day.

Thus, radiology seems to be an important meeting point for multi-resistant bacteria.

This Whitepaper aims to sensitize for this topic and to prevent unnecessary risks.
