nosocomial

Examples of nosocomial in the following topics:

• Microorganisms in the Hospital

  • Nosocomial infections can cause severe pneumonia and infections of the urinary tract, bloodstream, and other parts of the body.
  • Nosocomial infections can cause severe pneumonia and infections of the urinary tract, bloodstream, and other parts of the body.
  • Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), or nosocomial pneumonia, refers to any pneumonia contracted by a patient in a hospital at least 48-72 hours after being admitted.
  • HAP is the second most common nosocomial infection (urinary tract infection is the most common), and accounts for 15-20% of the total.
  • It is the most common cause of death among nosocomial infections, and is the primary cause of death in intensive care units.

• Compromised Host

  • A nosocomial infection, also known as a hospital-acquired infection or HAI, is an infection whose development is favoured by a hospital environment, such as one acquired by a patient during a hospital visit or one developing among hospital staff.
  • Thorough hand washing and/or use of alcohol rubs by all medical personnel before and after each patient contact is one of the most effective ways to combat nosocomial infections.
  • Discuss the risk factors that contribute to the acquiring of nosocomial infections or hospital-acquired infections

• Control of Nosocomial Infections

  • Thorough hand washing and/or the use of alcohol rubs by all medical personnel before and after each patient contact is one of the most effective ways to combat nosocomial infections.
  • The spread of nosocomial infections among immunocompromised patients is connected with health care workers' hand contamination in almost 40% of cases.
  • This can be especially troublesome in hospital environments, where patients with immunodeficiencies are at enhanced risk for contracting nosocomial infections.
  • Give examples of ways nosocomial infections can be controlled or prevented

• Chain of Transmission

  • The most important and frequent mode of transmission of nosocomial infections is by direct contact.
  • The most important and frequent mode of transmission of nosocomial infections is by direct contact.

• Synthetic Antimicrobial Drugs

  • Infections that are acquired during a hospital visit are called "hospital acquired infections" or nosocomial infections.

• Naturally Occurring Antimicrobial Drugs: Antibiotics

  • Infections that are acquired during a hospital visit are called "hospital acquired infections" or nosocomial infections.

• Biofilms and Infections

  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa is not only an important opportunistic pathogen and causative agent of emerging nosocomial infections but can also be considered a model organism for the study of diverse bacterial mechanisms that contribute to bacterial persistence.
