Nosocomial staphylococcal infections and measures for their prevention

In modern conditions, the problem of purulent-inflammatory diseases (PID) caused by opportunistic microorganisms is one of the most urgent in medical science and healthcare practice due to their wide distribution in medical institutions (HCIs) of any profile. The increasing importance of nosocomial infections in various countries is evidenced by the work of domestic and foreign authors. Thus, in different regions of the world, nosocomial HL are found in 517% of hospitalized patients [3]. In our country, they are especially often observed in obstetric and surgical departments, where their localized forms are a common cause of sepsis [2, 4].
