According to Dr. Bhattacharya, “Several new antibiotics are now being used to combat ‘multidrug-resistant organism’ infections. As a result, patient recovery rates have improved significantly. However, strict adherence to safety protocols in the ICU is essential to prevent the spread of these infections.”

He further emphasised, “Conducting proper culture tests and multiplex PCR tests is crucial to determine whether a patient has an MDRO infection. These diagnostic and treatment facilities are available at HP Ghosh Hospital.”
