Infection caused by the proliferation of bacteria and fungi is often found in dirty areas, but this is not as common in highly sterilized environments like health facilities. However, this view is not entirely accurate, as infections can still occur in healthcare settings for various reasons. One significant factor is the resistance that some bacteria, often referred to as "hospital bacteria," develop due to the overuse of antibiotics. While a healthy body typically fights off these infections, patients may face serious risks if infection control protocols are not strictly followed in healthcare facilities. Failure to adhere to these rules can lead to severe consequences, including the closure of health departments and legal actions against staff, as has happened in many hospitals. The British Academy for Training and Development underscores the critical importance of effective infection control measures in maintaining patient safety.
