Nosocomial infections, also known as healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), are infections that are acquired during a hospital stay or healthcare facility visit. These infections can occur in patients, healthcare workers, or visitors and are typically not present or incubating at the time of admission. Nosocomial infections are a significant concern in healthcare settings due to their impact on patient outcomes, increased healthcare costs, and the potential for the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Common types of nosocomial infections include: 1. Urinary tract infections (UTIs): UTIs are the most common type of nosocomial infection. They often result from the use of urinary catheters, which can introduce bacteria into the urinary tract. 2.

  Pseudomonas is a type of bacteria (germ) commonly found in the environment, such as in soil and water. Of the many different species of Pseudomonas, the one that causes the most infection in humans is called Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can cause infections of the blood, lungs (pneumonia) or other parts of the body after surgery. These bacteria are constantly looking for new ways to avoid the effects of antibiotics used to treat the infections they cause. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria stop responding to antibiotics designed to kill them. If they develop resistance to various types of antibiotics, these germs can become multi-drug resistant. Who is at risk by Pseudomonas aeruginosa? Those most at risk are hospitalized patients, especially those: On breathing machines (ventilators) With devices such as catheters With wounds from surgery or burns How Pseudomonas aeruginosa is it spread?

But when I really started looking at the label, I was horrified to find so many harmful ingredients - like artificial colors and flavors. That's whe...
