Course Overview
Though any infectious agent can spread in a hospital, nosocomial agents are
those that have evolved to be highly adapted to the hospital ecosystem. Certain
strains of Staph aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae,
Clostridium difficile, and others spread between patients and hospitals in
both humans and animals. The ecology and general means by which nosocomial
agents spread will be covered in the first hour. Details for specific agents
along with disinfection and monitoring will be covered.

the information on the slide. To use the voice annotated slides, you must have
speakers attached to your computer.
