Opportunistic Bacterial Infections and Control Measures in Saudi Arabian Healthcare Facilities: A Literature Review

This study explores opportunistic bacterial strains in Saudi Arabian healthcare settings, focusing on their prevalence and challenges. It examines infection control strategies, including strict hand hygiene practices, environmental surveillance, and antibiotic stewardship programs. The research uses molecular typing methods to understand the genetic diversity and clonal spread of these bacteria. The findings have implications for healthcare practitioners, policymakers, and researchers to enhance patient safety and minimize healthcare-associated infections in the Saudi Arabian context.
