Question: what are other medical reasons, besides poor hand hygiene, for the transfer of multidrug-resistance organisms from one patient to another?

Some medical conditions make you more susceptible to infection. Like auto immune disorders, or cystic fibrosis, or other lung issues, for example. Some medical conditions make you less able to fight pathogens than other people, so you are more likely to develop infections. Contamination of the environment is an unfortunate way that organisms are transferred from one patient to another also.
