Les infections postopératoires sont plus susceptibles d’être causées par des bactéries vivant sur notre peau que par des microbes présents à l’hôpital

La prévention des infections est axée sur l’environnement hospitalier plutôt que sur le patient. Or, les microbes résistants aux antibiotiques sont bien souvent déjà présents sur la peau du patient.

Infecções hospitalares: bactérias que já estão nos pacientes também são responsáveis

A maioria das diretrizes de prevenção de infecções se concentra no ambiente hospitalar e não no paciente. Mas a fonte de micróbios resistentes a antibióticos geralmente vem do próprio corpo do paciente.

Infections after surgery are more likely due to bacteria already on your skin than from microbes in the hospital − new research

Most infection prevention guidelines center on the hospital environment rather than the patient. But the source of antibiotic-resistant microbes is often from the patient’s own body.
