Refer to the CDC Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States, 2013 PDF pages 13-17,
50-52, and 58-62 for a complete version of this information.
In the first paragraph on page 51, the authors claim that a specific bacterium most often affects
hospitalized patients

and reported
It encourages patients to follow their health care providers' instructions when visiting
hospitals to prevent the spread of infections.
It provides details about the conditions Clostridium difficile causes among hospitalized!

Hi! The information in paragraph 3 under the subheading Healthcare Providers Can, on page 52 from the CDC Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States, 2013, that best develop the idea that this bacterium can be managed is the first one:

"It gives specific information about how hospitals can regulate the patient's environment to prevent spreading bacteria."

Explanation:

I have the PDF right in front of me and the whole idea of the paragraphs under the subtitle Healthcare Providers Can is to inform how hospitals can manipulate and can know what happens inside the environment to prevent the bacteria from spreading. The paragraphs say that doctors can see the results on their patients and know whether to continue with those antibiotics or change them for more suitable ones, they also can be aware of infection rates and follow control recommendations, they can even use isolation for patients who are suspected to have C. Difficile and gloves for themselves to protect from getting infected. All of these are tips or information to regulate the patient's environment to prevent spreading bacteria, that is why I chose the first option.
