Geneviève Padonou Batossi-2013-06-01-Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control

TL;DRAbstract

Nosocomial infections (NI) pose a real public health problem because of their universal frequency, severity and socioeconomic consequences. While infection control is well organized in developed countries, it is less in countries with low economic level who suffer from a lack of regulations and of data monitoring. Prevalence surveys are the basic tool for the surveillance and prevention of NIs.
