abstract = {Despite the continuous advances of medicine and higher safety standards for patients, nosocomial infections are a major problem accompanying of treatment process. Infected patients are exposed to prolonged hospital stay, require additional medical procedures, theresofore their treatment and care are associated with additional costs for health facility. In the present study the number of outbreaks of nosocomial infections, which occurred in hospitals in the Malopolska province and in Poland, as well as etiological factors of the infections in the years 2011–2013 were analyzed. In the analyzed period we observed increase in the number of outbreaks of infections in Poland and in Malopolska (from 339 to 394 and from 19 to 26 in Poland and Malopolska respectively). The most frequently identified factor is C. difficile and Rotavirus, followed by K. pneumoniae ESBL, and Norovirus. There was a decrease in the number of outbreaks of unknown etiology, both in Poland and in Malopolska. The analysis identified an increase in the number of outbreaks caused by C. difficile, Noroviruses and Rotaviruses, as the main problem in the recent years. This trend occurs in the Malopolska region and in the country. However, the analysis of the reports shows improved reportability of outbreaks in Malopolska and in Poland which will allow for better control of nosocomial infections.},
