Synopsis As Introduced
Raises public awareness about the antibiotic-resistant CRE germ that is becoming a growing threat to health facilities in the State of Illinois. Urges health facilities across the State to promote proper hygienic practices to combat CRE and employ a "detect and protect" strategy to identify the presence of the organism and protect other patients to prevent its spread.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the heading. Removes language regarding a report from the federal Centers for Disease Control on carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections or deaths, the kinds of bacteria that have developed carbapenem resistance, and a request to the citizens of this State to become informed about the emerging risk of CRE. Adds language regarding a request for health facilities across the State to follow current CDC recommendations regarding use of personal protective equipment.
