1a) All of the following are true of Hospital-acquired infections EXCEPT: Group of answer choices E. coli and staphylococci are common etiological agents of HAI's. HAI's can involve endogenous infections from the patient's resident biota HAI's often involve catheters as portals of entry HAI's can always be prevented by medical personnel B) Koch's postulates require all of the following except: Group of answer choices The microbe must be streaked on a plate and grown in the lab. If a person is sick, the microbe must be found in them. The infected host must be able to successfully transmit the microbes to a new host. The microbe must cause the same disease when given to uninfected hosts.
