Physician Perceptions Regarding Antimicrobial Use in End-of-Life CareInfection Control and Hospital Epidemiology - Tập 39 Số 4 - Trang 383-390 - 2018
Christopher E. Gaw, Keith Hamilton, Jeffrey S. Gerber, Julia E. Szymczak
BACKGROUNDThe decision to utilize antimicrobials in end-of-life situations is complex. Understanding the reasons why physicians prescribe antimicrobials in this patient population is important for informing the design of antimicrobial stewardship interventions. hiện toàn bộ

AbstractObjectives:To conduct a pilot study implementing combined genomic and epidemiologic surveillance for hospital-acquired multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) to predict transmission between patients and to estimate the local burden of MDRO transmission. hiện toàn bộ
Spread of a Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST80-IV Clone in a Danish CommunityInfection Control and Hospital Epidemiology - Tập 26 Số 2 - Trang 144-149 - 2005
Tinna Ravnholt Urth, Gitte Juul, Robert Skov, Henrik Carl Schønheyder
AbstractObjective:We report a community cluster of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Denmark with emphasis on routes of transmission and infection control measures. The objective is to extend knowledge of MRSA in a community setting w...... hiện toàn bộ
Self-reported beta-lactam allergy and the risk of surgical site infection: A retrospective cohort studyInfection Control and Hospital Epidemiology - Tập 41 Số 4 - Trang 438-443 - 2020
Philip W. Lam, Payam Tarighi, Marion Elligsen, Keith Gunaratne, Avery B. Nathens, Jordan Tarshis, Jerome A. Leis
AbstractObjective:To assess whether a self-reported β-lactam allergy is associated with an increased risk of surgical site infection (SSI) across a broad range of procedures and to determine whether this association is mediated by the receipt of an alternate antibiotic to cefazolin.... hiện toàn bộ
The Role Played by Contaminated Surfaces in the Transmission of Nosocomial PathogensInfection Control and Hospital Epidemiology - Tập 32 Số 7 - Trang 687-699 - 2011
Jonathan A. Otter, Saber Yezli, G L French
Studies in the 1970s and 1980s suggested that environmental surface contamination played a negligible role in the endemic transmission of healthcare-associated infections. However, recent studies have demonstrated that several major nosocomial pathogens are shed by patients and contaminate hospital surfaces at concentrations sufficient for transmission, survive for extended periods, persis...... hiện toàn bộ
Control of Simultaneous Outbreaks of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae and Extensively Drug-ResistantAcinetobacter baumanniiInfection in an Intensive Care Unit Using Interventions Promoted in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2012 Carbapenemase-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae ToolkitInfection Control and Hospital Epidemiology - Tập 35 Số 7 - Trang 810-817 - 2014
