ABSTRACT
The German Infectious Disease Control Act of 2001 includes a modified regulation for reporting infectious diseases and infectious pathogens and new clauses for surveillance and infection control in medical institutions. For the first time, all health care facilities are obliged to conduct surveillance of nosocomial infections and multiresistant pathogens. This legal regulation including mandatory monitoring by local health departments aims at reducing the rates of nosocomial infection and frequency and dissemination of highly resistant pathogens. This article describes the effect of the Disease Control Act on surgical departments. Surveillance of postsurgical wound infection should lead to better understanding of the cause and effect of nosocomial infection and greater acceptance of high-quality hospital hygiene management.
