Infections in hospitals,less, there are problems which are worse in hospitals than elsewhere, and there are problems which are virtually confined to hospital practice. The problems of degree are concerned with the susceptibility of hospital patients to infection because of old age and frailty and because of the likelihood

My excuse for dealing with the prevention of infection in hospitals separately is that it presents special problems scarcely encountered in infection prevention elsewhere. Hospitals present such a combination of susceptible patients (and staff), virulent and t

GEN

The bacteriology laboratory,levant laboratory classification techniques; some comments on specimen collection and handling, and an outline of how infectious conditions should be investigated. Those requiring a detailed exposition of any of these topics are referred to the standard works.

Morose

Viruses, fungi and parasites, general properties of bacteria, the nature of bacterial infections and the laboratory methods used in their diagnosis. In this chapter I propose to follow a similar plan for the other main groups of medically important micro-organisms, which are brought together here for convenience.
