Results The surveillance data involved 1 776 030 hospitalized patients, of whom 43 355 had a hospital-acquired infection, the incidence of hospital-acquired infection being 2.44‰. Respiratory-tract infections were most frequent, followed by gastroenteric-tract infections, urinary-tract infections and surgical-site infections. A total of 6 251 strains of pathogens were isolated, the most commonly identified pathogens being Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Candida albicans and Staphylococcus epidermidis.
