Healthcare-associated Infections: epidemiology, prevention, and therapy.

Rupali K Doshi1, Gopi Patel, Richard Mackay, Frances Wallach.   

Abstract

Reducing nosocomial infection rates is a major component of healthcare improvement. This article reviews the epidemiology, prevention, and therapy for some of the most common healthcare-associated infections, including central line-associated bloodstream infections and catheter-associated urinary tract infections, and 3 common organisms: methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, multidrug- resistant gram-negative bacteria, and Clostridium difficile.
