In 2017 Dr Schwaber lent his expertise to a WHO-founded committee, tasked with creating global guidelines on Carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae , Pseudomonas aeruginosa ).The guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations on the early recognition of these infections and the practices and procedures needed to control the spread of these infections in health care facilities.
“The thrust of the guidelines is to show what measures have been effective around the world to prevent the spread in healthcare systems of these bugs, to evaluate them based on the level of evidence that has been generated, and to give recommendations for implementation to the countries that are going to adopt the guidelines,” says Dr Schwaber.

“采用这些指南应是所有国家在为时未晚之时，应对耐碳青霉烯类抗生素细菌新威胁的一个关键优先事项。”
“The adoption of these guidelines should be a key priority for all countries to face the emerging threat of Carbapenem-resistant bacteria before it becomes too late,” says Dr Benedetta Allegranzi, coordinator of WHO’s Global Unit of Infection Prevention and Control.
“Other bugs such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (known as MRSA) are now widespread in most countries because action was not taken soon enough”.

应把指南纳入感染预防和控制规划的核心组成部分和抗微生物药物耐药性国家行动计划。
The guidelines should be integrated with the core components of infection prevention and control programmes and National Action Plans for antimicrobial resistance.
With effective implementation around the world, we will be one step closer to achieving strategic objective 3 of the AMR Global Action Plan adopted by all Member States at the World Health Assembly in 2015.
