Germs and governance brings together leading historians,
practitioners and policy makers to consider the past, present and
future of hospital infection control. Combining historical
case-studies with practitioner experiences, this volume offers a
new understanding of the emergence of theories of germ transmission
and containment and how these theories played out in real-world
environments, networks and professional organisations. Exploring
the historical context in which technologies like gloves were
developed and popularised, as well as how relationships between
communities and hospitals, doctors and nurses, and the emerging
role of hospital bacteriologists have shaped infection control
practices, the collection emphasises the diverse contexts in which
ideas about germs, infection and safety circulated. The volume also
addresses the historical neglect of the critical role of nurses in
the development and success of infection control measures. -- .
