Abstract

Background: Hospital-acquired infection is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. It directly cause massive increase in costs and health risks. The transferrable antibiotic pathogens made this more complicated, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which transmitted by direct contact. Salmonella spp, air droplet-borne Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus, Brucella, and Shigella are the most common laboratory infections causes.

Method: Mixed-Methods Systemic Review was used in this study. Search Strategy: A search was carried out in PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, National library of medicine, Scientific reports-nature online using the keywords- Hospital-Acquired Infections, Infection Control, Transmission-Based Precautions (TBP), Laboratory-Acquired Infection, Environmental Contamination in the Transmission of Nosocomial Pathogens, Nosocomial Infections.

Results and Conclusion: The epidemiological rates of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are closely linked to infection control measures implemented in each healthcare system. Urgent need to improve the control of pathogens responsible for hospital-acquired infections. In addition to the limitation of the new article sources on the issue, sharing best practices between hospitals. More infection transmission methods studies to avoid hospital-acquired infection spread, and innovative new devices that reduce infection.
