Abstract

Nosocomial or hospital-acquired infections are a real public health problem because of their frequency and severity, but also due to their socio-economic costs, which may be a considerable burden for patients as well as for the health system. Currently, their prevalence in hospitals is a real priority, both for patients and health care providers, as well as for the state. Identifying them and knowing their transmission modes are an urgent requirement. It is with this in mind that the present study attempts to sensitize all staff and hospital managers to the urgency of taking charge of this serious infectious phenomenon.
