Gram-negative cell walls themselves do not contribute to the incidence of nosocomial infections. Nosocomial infections are hospital-acquired infections, and their incidence is more directly influenced by factors such as lapses in aseptic techniques, lack of hand-washing, formation of biofilms, and lack of insect control, which can facilitate the transmission of pathogens.
