Infection Control: Policies and procedures aimed at preventing the spread of infectious diseases within healthcare and community settings. It involves practices that reduce transmission of pathogens to protect patients, staff, and the public.
Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs): Infections that patients acquire while receiving treatment in a healthcare facility, not present or incubating at the time of admission. Examples include surgical site infections and bloodstream infections.
Standard Precautions: A set of infection prevention practices applied to all patients, regardless of their infection status, including hand hygiene, PPE use, and environmental cleaning.
Pathogen: A microorganism capable of causing disease, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites.
Mode of Transmission: The mechanism by which infectious agents spread from one host or reservoir to another, including contact, droplet, airborne, or vector-borne routes.
