Effective IPC generates direct ecological benefits by preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), thereby reducing prolonged hospitalisation, antibiotic use, and resource consumption. Paradoxically, IPC measures: single-use materials, chemical disinfectants, and resource-intensive waste streams, contribute to healthcare's greenhouse-gas emissions and environmental burden. As climate change and environmental degradation threaten human and ecosystem health, there is growing urgency to evaluate IPC measures through a planetary health lens, ensuring sustainability considerations complement rather than compromise infection prevention outcomes.</p><p><strong>Aims: </strong>This position paper by the ESCMID Study Group for Nosocomial Infections (ESGNI) examines intersections between IPC practice and planetary health. Drawing on a synthesis of current evidence and expert consensus, it identifies opportunities to reduce the environmental footprint of IPC where evidence supports equivalent or superior IPC outcomes, and outlines research and policy priorities where evidence remains insufficient.</p><p><strong>Content: </strong>The paper analyses five key domains at the IPC-planetary health interface: 1) single-use versus reusable, 2) biocides and environmental contamination, 3) healthcare waste, 4) AMR: IPC priorities within a One Health framework, and 5) IPC and planetary health in low- and middle-income countries. Cross-cutting themes, including circular economy principles, life-cycle assessment, regulatory barriers, and climate-related risks are explored, with implications for regulation, procurement, infrastructure, and workforce competencies.</p><p><strong>Implications: </strong>Sustainability considerations in IPC must function as a complement to, not a substitute for, infection prevention outcomes. Where evidence supports equivalent safety with a reduced environmental footprint, change is justified and should be pursued through evidence-based, risk-stratified, and context-specific approaches. Achieving this requires regulatory reform, interdisciplinary collaboration, and targeted investment in research, education, and capacity building. Positioning IPC as a partner in sustainable healthcare offers a pathway to reduce avoidable environmental harm while strengthening resilience against infectious threats - with patient safety as the primary and non-negotiable objective.</p>","PeriodicalId":10444,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Microbiology and Infection","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147764575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

She is regarded one of the key drivers behind modern and evidence-based IPC in Germany aiming at prevention of healthcare-associated infections (HAI), and contributed substantially to the development of the German Hospital Infection Surveillance System (KISS). Under her leadership, KISS developed from a few participating hospitals into a network of more than 1,000 hospitals. By conducting epidemiological studies on antimicrobial resistances (AMR), propagating hand hygiene, pioneering clinical trials on the effectiveness of IPC measures, she constantly improved hospital hygiene and patient safety in Germany and beyond. Evidence-based reasoning, focusing on things that really matter, being pragmatic, open-minded, flexible as well as prioritizing mentorship and building an atmosphere of trust for her team, accompanied Petra Gastmeier's long and outstanding career.</p><p><strong>Implications: </strong>Gastmeier's work underscores the importance of strategically developing data and professional networks to enhance measurability and support the evaluation and application of emerging methods for IPC. Furthermore, this review may serve as an inspiration for future leaders in infection control and beyond, in shaping their own career paths and defining the leadership style they aspire to adopt.</p>","PeriodicalId":10444,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Microbiology and Infection","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147716413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
