Tuberculosis (TB) is an occupational hazard for healthcare workers. It is a bacterial infection of lungs and other body parts caused by strains of mycobacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). Typical symptoms include chronic cough with bold-tinged sputum, fever, night sweats, and so on. Tuberculosis can cause significant morbidity and death. It is usually spread by air when infected people transmit their saliva through air by coughing and sneezing.

Invasive burn wound sepsis with Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major concern in burn patient care settings. It is difficult to treat and may cause high mortality among patients with extensive burn wounds. Therefore, one primary goal of burn care is to prevent colonization and infection of P. aeruginosa. Patient colonization refers to the isolation of the targeted pathogen (organism) from the patient (e.g., sputum, wound surface, urine, and stool).
