Differentiate among nosocomialcommunity-acquiredand iatrogenic infection?

Nosocomial infections are infections that are acquired in a health-care setting or as a result of receiving medical care. They may be the result of medical care (see iatrogenic infections, below), or they may simply be due to contact with pathogens from another patient in a hospital or clinic. Iatrogenic infections are infections that are the result of receiving medical care. Iatrogenic infections are nosocomial infections. Examples include infections as a result of surgery or catheterization, or secondary infections that are a result of antibiotic treatment killing of normal microbiota. Community-acquired infections are those that are picked up outside of a health-care setting. For example, CA-MRSA is the name given to MRSA infections that are transmitted in people's everyday lives.


How do acquired characteristics differ from adaptations?

Acquired characteristics are traits that an individual develops during its lifetime, such as a tan from sun exposure, and are not passed down to offspring. Adaptations are heritable traits that increase an organism's fitness in its environment and are passed down through generations. Acquired characteristics do not involve genetic changes, while adaptations are the result of genetic variation and natural selection.
