The Role Played by Contaminated Surfaces in the Transmission of Nosocomial Pathogens (2011, background): “Recently, however, there has been a reassessment of the role played by contaminated surfaces in the transmission of nosocomial pathogens.(2,9) Pathogen transfer from an affected patient to a susceptible host occurs most commonly via the hands of healthcare workers (HCWs), but contaminated objects, s”
