摘要
Organisms causing nosocomial infections come from either endogenous or exogenous sources. Endogenous infections are caused by the patient's own flora, whereas exogenous infections result from transmission of organisms from a source other than the patient. The reuse of medical instruments and devices bears a significant risk of transmitting exogenous infections. Failure to employ appropriate disinfection or sterilization measures has been responsible for several nosocomial outbreaks. Depending on the nature of the medical device and its intended use, infection control policies must identify appropriate disinfection techniques.
