Hospital patients are often immunocompromised due to illness and are more susceptible to infection. Other patients in the hospital serve as pathogen reservoirs. Cross-infection is heightened due to patients sharing rooms. Pathogens can easily be transferred when a healthcare person works with several different patients in a day. Several healthcare procedures breach the skin barrier of patients, making them more susceptible to infection.
