Control of nosocomial infection is complicated by emergence of endogenous flora as nosocomial pathogens. The JK group of diphtheroids (coryneforms) exemplify this problem. Infection with these organisms is frequent in certain segments of the hospital population and is associated with procedures as well as drug therapy. A number of factors suggest that cross-infection due to JK coryneforms may become even more prominent in the future. Development of rational control measures will require attention to problems of organism definition and methods used for identifying cases, characterizing the patient at risk, and typing organisms in epidemiologic studies.
医院内源性菌群作为医院病原体的出现使医院感染的控制变得复杂。JK类棒状杆菌（棒状杆菌属）就是这一问题的典型例子。在医院人群的某些部分中，这些微生物的感染很常见，并且与医疗程序以及药物治疗有关。许多因素表明，由JK棒状杆菌引起的交叉感染在未来可能会变得更加突出。制定合理的控制措施需要关注微生物定义问题以及用于识别病例、确定高危患者特征和在流行病学研究中对微生物进行分型的方法。
