Nosocomial infections are healthcare-acquired infections that patients develop while undergoing medical or surgical treatment. Hospitals, surgical centers, ambulatory clinics, and long-term care are some places where HAIs can occur. Patients who develop infections after surgery stay in the hospital for an additional 6.5 days on an average, are twice as likely to die, and more likely to be readmitted after being released. Furthermore, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission is required 60% more frequently for surgical patients who contract infections. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that HAIs cause 1.7 million infections and 99,000 deaths annually in the U.S. hospitals alone. While, urinary tract infections account for 32% of healthcare-acquired infections, followed by surgical site infections (22%), pneumonia (15%), and bloodstream infections (14%). https://www.emergenresearch.com/industry-report/infectious-disease-diagnostics-market
