Abstract

The threat of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) is universal, affecting every healthcare facility and system around the world. The diagnosis of HCAI is complex and relies on diverse diagnostic criteria and methods. Although there are many routes of transmission of HCAI, one of the most easily preventable vectors is bacteria carried on healthcare workers hands.
