Superinfectious: a new infection which apperas as a resultant of
anti-microbial treatment.
Superinfections, as a result of a hard-to-treat overgrowth of
opportunistic organisms (e.g., fungi or resistant bacteria),
commonly arise with broad-spectrum antimicrobials, extended use, or
combos of sellers that regulate the ordinary microbial flora of the
top respiratory, intestinal, and genitourinary tracts.For example
is C difficile–associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis
secondary to fluoroquinolone use.
The treatment plans should be consider very carefully to prevent
the superinfection-
- Antibiotics should be used when it is very much necessary,when
using it use it in a effectively to the specific bacterial
strain.
- Always follow the advice of the physician and complete the
couse of the antibiotic while using the antibiotics.
- Remember one thing the more antibiotics you take it will result
more antibiotic resistance.So use antibiotics unless when it is
necessary.
- Moreover it is very important to prevent infection.So always
maintain proper hygiene,wash your hand regularly and avoid contact
with infected patient.
- Immunization is very helpful in preventing the antibiotic
resistance.So follow the vaccination programme.
