Nosocomial opportunistic pathogen causing secondary infections in immunosuppressed patients.
An opportunistic pathogen, prevalent in nosocomial environments like hospitals, has the potential to cause secondary infections in individuals with compromised immune systems. In immunosuppressed patients, who have weakened immune defenses, this pathogen can exploit vulnerabilities, leading to heightened susceptibility to infections and complicating patient care. The term "nosocomial" underscores its association with healthcare facilities, underscoring the need for rigorous infection control measures to mitigate the risk of its transmission within these settings.
