Infection Control and Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs)

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), also known as nosocomial infections, are infections that patients acquire during their stay in healthcare facilities, often unrelated to their initial diagnosis. Common HAIs include bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and surgical site infections. Pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA), Clostridium difficile, and multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are frequently involved. These infections can lead to longer hospital stays, increased healthcare costs, and higher mortality. Effective infection control practices—such as hand hygiene, sterilization protocols, antimicrobial stewardship, and isolation procedures—are critical in preventing HAIs. Surveillance systems and infection control teams play a vital role in identifying outbreaks and ensuring compliance. Education of healthcare staff and integration of evidence-based guidelines significantly reduce risks. The ongoing emergence of resistant organisms underscores the need for robust infection prevention programs and continuous innovation in diagnostics and disinfection technologies.
