Cross Infection (Visit this link)

Cross infection is the physical movement or transfer of harmful bacteria from one person, object, or place to another, or from one part of the body to another (such as touching a staph-infected hand to the eye). When this cross infection occurs in a hospital or long-term care facility it is called a nosocomial infection. Communityacquired infections are those contracted anywhere except a hospital or long-term care facility.
