‘The number of infections is on the increase, health care providers have actually been able to reduce the number of deaths’

EXCERPT:

SERRIE: "That’s right. While the number of infections is on the increase, health care providers have actually been able to reduce the number of deaths. Take a look at these statistics. Since the CDC’s last report on antibiotic resistance came out in 2013, annual deaths are actually down 18 percent overall in the U.S. The numbers are even more dramatic when you look at hospitals, which have reduced deaths by 28 percent. That take on here is that the situation is not hopeless. Although the infection numbers are much higher than public health officials would have wanted, they say there are concrete steps that health care providers and even individuals can take to reduce those numbers."
