Bacteria and Yeasts of Nosocomial Importance in a Radiology Department in an Academic Hospital
HAIs burden healthcare; understanding microbial colonization of radiology devices in South Africa is crucial for effective infection control, a gap in current data.
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) result in a significant burden on the healthcare sector. Investigations into their epidemiology and possible routes of transmission are important to enable interventions that protect patients and staff. Radiology devices are known to be colonised by microbial organisms that may act as fomites for infection. However, there is a lack of relevant data from the South African setting.
