In terms origin or infection, it can come from the community (community acquired infection) hospital environment (Hospital which was previously known as nosocomial infection.

Clostridium difficile infection is the most common hospital-acquired infection. Besides infected patients, carriers have emerged as a key player in C. difficile epidemiology. In this study, we evaluated the impact of identifying and isolating carriers upon hospital admission on the incidence of CDI incidence and hospital-acquired C. difficile colonization, as a single policy and as part of bund...

During October-December 2015, 29 patients in a hospital in the Netherlands acquired nosocomial infection with a multidrug-resistant, New Delhi-metallo-β-lactamase-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae strain. Extensive infection control measures were needed to stop this outbreak. The estimated economic impact of the outbreak was $804,263; highest costs were associated with hospital bed closures.

background following coronary artery bypass graft (cabg), patients are at high risk (3.2%-8.3%) for developing hospital-acquired pneumonia (hap) with mortality rate of 24% to 50%. some of routine features in patients undergoing cabg are similar to clinical criteria of center of disease control (cdc) for diagnosis of pneumonia. this may lead to over-diagnosis of pneumonia in these patients. obje...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the acquisition of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and whether it represents hospital- or community-acquired infection. AIM To test the feasibility and value of using national hospital admissions data from Hospital Episode Statistics to examine trends in CDI in England. METHODS Hospital Episode Statistics from the period 1997/98 to 2009/10 were used. T...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The incidence of hospital-acquired legionellosis appears to be increasing. Presence of Legionella in the hospital drinking water is the only risk factor known with certainty to be predictive of risk for contracting Legionnaires' disease. RECENT FINDINGS Given the high frequency of infection by nonpneumophila and nonserogroup 1 species, both Legionella respiratory culture on ...
