Role and Important Staff Hands and Low and High Contact Hospital Surfaces to Produce and Controlling Nosocomial Infections
Nosocomial infections (NIs), also called hospital-acquired infections are infections acquired during hospital care which are not present or incubating at admission. Nosocomial infections remain a major global concern in all countries. Health care settings are an environment where both infected persons and persons at increased risk of infection congregate.
