Since the 1990s, a trend has been seen in which the number of hospital-acquired infections increase when the weather gets warmer, according to an article on the Popular Science website.

A closer inspection of the species showed there was no difference in the target; the lungs, gastrointestinal tract and bloodstream all had the same trend, the article said.
