Abstract
The field of infection control is devoted to reducing the spread of pathogens. Over the years, this endeavour has developed along two distinct lines. In resource-limited communities, as shown by Curtis and colleagues1 in their recent Review, simple hygienic measures can have a remarkable effect on decreasing transmission, although their implementation may be inconsistent. By contrast, modern high-tech hospitals, which occupy the opposite end of the resource spectrum, are ceaselessly haunted by a different set of transmissible pathogens, those that cause health-care-associated infection (HAI).
