About the possibility of spreading intrahospital infection

The problem of infections associated with the provision of medical care or nosocomial infections does not lose its relevance. The formation of hospital strains of microorganisms has their own characteristics, namely, the adaptation of pathogens to hospital conditions, the struggle for nutritional niches, homogenization, clonal distribution, and the formation of an artificial ecological system. A stable trend towards a decrease in species diversity and the displacement of unstable bacterial strains under the influence of disinfectants and the unjustified use of antimicrobial drugs leads to multidrug resistance of microorganisms, which increases the hospitalization period of patients, complicates the treatment of the underlying disease, and increases the risk of mortality among persons with immunodeficiency. This article discusses the ways of spreading infection associated with the provision of medical care in a surgical hospital, risk factors and a modern strategy for the prevention of nosocomial infections.
