Abstract
In view of the global increase in multidrug-resistant bacteria, applying contact precautions during the care of affected patients seems, at first, a rational approach to decrease the spread of these organisms. Increasing the distance between sources of multidrug-resistant organisms and potential recipients and using disposable equipment, such as gloves and gowns, for any contact with the patient and their environment might appear to be logical and harmless precautions. However, as a growing body of evidence has shown, contact precautions do harm.
