Clinical Factors Driving Nosocomial Infections and Bacterial Resistance
Overview Nosocomial infections, also known as healthcare-associated infections, affect patients during or after hospital stays and are influenced by a spectrum of clinical factors. These infections are complicated by the rise of bacterial resistance, which makes treatment harder and outcomes worse. Understanding the clinical drivers behind hospital-acquired infections helps clinicians tailor prevention strategies, optimize antibiotic…

Impact of Clinical Factors on Nosocomial Infections and Bacterial Resistance
Introduction Nosocomial infections, also known as healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs), are infections that develop in patients during stays in healthcare facilities, typically after 48 hours of hospitalization. These infections, coupled with rising bacterial resistance, pose a major challenge to patient safety, clinical outcomes, and healthcare costs. This article examines how clinical factors—ranging from patient comorbidities to…
