    GlossaryNosocomial infection (Healthcare-associated infection)

    A nosocomial infection, also known as a hospital-acquired infection (HAI), is an infection that a patient acquires during their stay in a healthcare facility, such as a hospital or clinic, which was not present or incubating at the time of their admission. These infections can result from various sources, including contaminated medical equipment, healthcare workers' hands, or the hospital environment, and they often involve bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics, making them particularly challenging to treat.
