Hospitals are kept sterile to keep viruses and baceria from getting to people whose immune systems are susceptible. When a hospital does not stay sterile, patients are put at great risk of infection and sickness.

In addition to people who are already ill becoming sicker, anyone undergoing surgery can be exposed to microbodies. In these cases, infections can cause serious injury or death in the patient.
