A warning has been issued by MRSA Action UK concerning superbugs in hospitals.
According to the organisation, poor clinical practice is increasing the number of such cases.
It cited research from the Health Protection Agency, which suggested that Clostridium difficile is becoming more acute in community settings.
The inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics was identified as one cause of the trend.
MRSA Action UK - which is a registered charity founded by a group of people who had life-changing experiences or lost loved ones as a result of the infection - suggested that while many cases are taken into hospitals by visitors, not all come from this source.
It recommended educating staff, residents and families on what precautions to take in order to prevent and control outbreaks.
Whichever political party wins the next general election - set to take place later this year - needs to make the control of superbugs a priority, the group said.
