The updated resources include sanitation protocols for clinical and non-clinical areas, plus staff training materials to standardise hygiene across teams.
They also includes guidance on positive surveillance for nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections, and an online self-audit tool designed to help practices review current procedures and identify gaps.
The update is intended to support infection prevention and responsible antimicrobial use, and to reduce the risk of resistant infections affecting animals and their owners.
The Foundation said it is expanding educational materials for veterinary professionals and pet owners, supported by a new board of trustees, veterinary student educators and clinical advisors.
