In the article, brief information on ways to prevent hospital-acquired infections and countermeasures was given, the successes achieved in the study of these diseases in recent years and the discovery of risk factors in practice were shared. Nosocomial infections aggravate the course of the main disease, sometimes put the patient's life at risk, and prolong the length of stay of patients in the hospital. Extremely high pathogenicity of hospital strains of bacteria formed in connection with long-term treatment of patients with severe forms of purulent-septic diseases causes high lethality. The mechanism and ways of infection of the causative agents of hospital infections depend on the profile of the inpatient, the contingent of patients, the volume of treatment-diagnostic procedures and manipulations. Diagnosis of nosocomial infections is based on detection of causative agents by microbiological methods, including molecular genetic methods. Typing of pathogens allows to characterize the outbreak, that is, to determine the source of infection, the mechanism of infection and their reservoir.
