摘要：

Since 2006, several projects have been initiated in Europe to describe the distribution and characteristics of infection control programs in long-term care facilities and to quantify the burden of infections, antimicrobial resistance, and antimicrobial use in long-term care facilities. This article summarizes the results and activities that are underway.
