[h=1]Healthcare-associated infections: potential for prevention through vaccination.[/h] McIntosh EDG[SUP]1[/SUP].
[h=3]Author information[/h]
[h=3]Abstract[/h] The challenge of healthcare-associated infections is compounded by the higher incidence of resistant organisms and the decreasing utility of antimicrobial agents. Historic and current vaccines have already contributed to reductions in healthcare-associated infections, and future vaccines have the potential to reduce these infections further. Through examples of bacterial and viral vaccines, this review will attempt to chart the way forward.
