Bacteria exist in large numbers in moist, organic environments and are also found in the air, in water, and on surfaces, particularly in healthcare environments. Patients who are considered high risk are more susceptible to infection by some of these bacteria given the nature of their illness and the treatment they undergo.

NICU infants are at a higher risk given their varying stages of underdeveloped immune systems, varying degrees of dependence on instruments, invasive procedures, and contact with healthcare providers.
