title = "Constructing the 'Sanitary Officer': the pathologist's role in infection prevention and control at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, 1892-1939",
abstract = "Historians have perceived the cleanliness of hospitals to be the responsibility of the Matron. This chapter focuses on the roles of doctors and matrons at Barts in managing and reporting issues relating to cleanliness, and the work of the Sanitary Officer, in order to explore the different responsibilities for infection prevention and control. It shows that pathologists were involved in hospital management, patient care and infection control at a much earlier stage than has been suggested by the existing historiography of infection prevention and control.",
