Inhaltsangabe

The invasion of the body tissues of an organism by disease-causing agents is known as infection. It also includes the multiplication of such agents, the toxins produced by them and their host interactions. Viruses, parasites, bacteria and arhthropods are some common infection causing agents. Infection control is associated with the prevention of nosocomial and health-care associated infection. It is related to public health practice and involves the usage of antibiotics, antibacterials, antifungals, antivirals and antiprotozoals. Infection control is based on a certain number of factors within the healthcare setting. It includes prevention, sterilization, vaccination, disinfection, monitoring of infection within a particular health-care setting and management. Sterilization uses heat, steam or liquid chemical to kill all microorganisms. Disinfection kills disease-causing microorganisms through the usage of liquid chemicals. The topics included in this book on infection prevention and control are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impacts as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. The book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
