Nosocomial Infection Impact Factor

Nosocomial infections, also known as hospital-acquired infections, are newly acquired infections that are contracted within a hospital environment. Transmission usually occurs via healthcare workers, patients, hospital equipment, or interventional procedures. The most common sites of infection are the bloodstream, lungs, urinary tract, and surgical wounds. Though any bacteria may cause a nosocomial infection, there is an increasing incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens causing hospital-acquired infections. This rise can be explained by indiscriminate use of antibiotics and lacking hygiene measures, especially among medical staff. Commonly seen multidrug-resistant pathogens include methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing bacteria (ESBL), and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). The choice of antibiotic for treating infections with these pathogens is based on the individual resistance profile and often requires additional strict isolation methods for the patient.
