Abstract
Hospitalized companion animals have increased susceptibility for hospital-acquired/nosocomial infections. Veterinarians have a responsibility to ensure adequate infection control, biosecurity, and biosafety within veterinary hospitals. Through elimination of pathogens and substitution of hazards, as well as implementation of engineering and administrative controls and the use of personal protective equipment, veterinary teams can dramatically reduce unintentional disease transmission.
