摘要：

The spread of nosocomially acquired, antibiotic-resistant microorganisms has grown dramatically over the past 20 years and has increasingly attracted the attention of academic inquiry. This article reviews recent epidemiological data about the trends and patterns of nosocomial transmission, presents clinical studies investigating mechanisms of cross-transmission, and discusses recent literature on preventive strategies aimed at reducing hand-carriage of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Curr Opin Infect Dis 14:437-442., (C) 2001 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
