Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the prevalence of HAIs varies between 5.7% and 19.1% in low- and middle-income countries (1). The reduction of incidence and elimination of HAIs is impossible, with regular surveillance and effective infection control prevention (ICP) programs. Nevertheless, effective implementation of IPC measures in resource limited countries is a difficult, due to lack of resources and lack of basic facilities like access to clean running water Cockroaches are common pests of domestic pets of households, hospitals and industrial areas.
