Methods

Data collection has been reviewed through the use of new scientific sites and articles.

Results

The most common bacteria which are the cause of hospital infections is the opportunistic enterobacteriaceae, especially e. coli that live in human intestines, and they can infect if they are transferred to the sterile areas of the body. staphylococcus aureus at the skin surface of 20% of adults can cause surgical wound infections or a lung infection under proper conditions. pseudomonas aeruginosa usually lives in the body of 5% of adults. it can be easily replicated in water and in wet environments like (distilled water or artificial inhaler tubes) and when water or contaminated equipment is used it can cause severe and fatal infections in people with immune deficiency. particularly, it is easily transmitted among patients in the burn section and causes many deaths in this section.

Conclusion
