Medical - Medical (general) / detection of gram-negative bacteria
German term or phrase: durch krankenhaushygienische Maßnahmen
Für eine frühzeitige adäquate antimikrobielle Therapie ist daher eine rasche Identifikation multiresistenter Gram-negativer Bakterien notwendig. Darüber hinaus ist ein rascher Nachweis multiresistenter Gram-negativer Erreger, abgesehen von therapeutischen Fragen, eine wichtige Voraussetzung, um deren nosokomiale Übertragung durch krankenhaushygienische Maßnahmen effizient zu verhindern.
I just wanted to clarify whether this means that nosocomial transmission is to be prevented by adopting suitable hygiene procedures in hospital. Or whether the nosocomial transmission is caused by (presumably inadequate?) krankenhaushygienische Maßnahmen.

hygiene measures in hospitals / hospital hygiene measures


Explanation:
Incidences of infections have been steadily falling as a result of increased awareness and stricter hand washing and hygiene measures in hospitals.

Because staphylococcus aureus bacteria live on the skin they are easily spread by direct skin contact, often on people’s hands. MRSA is also spread on bedding, towels, clothing and equipment. This is one reason why strict **hygiene measures in hospital ** are so important.
