Antibiotic resistance is one of the main challenges in public health in the 21st century. ...
AMPs face the challenge of resistance. Resistance is the result of bacteria mutating in response to the use of drugs, such as developing resistance by blocking binding sites. ...
A screening test via nasal swab for methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) performed at that time was ...
Saint Francis Hospital of Trinity Health in Wilmington, DE implemented SteraMist disinfection in 2017. Over the years, Saint Francis has been one of the top hospitals in keeping their Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) rates down. With the use of SteraMist disinfection throughout their hospital, Saint Francis is able to keep C. difficle, MRSA, and central line-associated bloodstream infections ...
Infections in care homes and other social care settings can adversely affect the most vulnerable in society, including those who care for and support them. With a prevalent virus which scientists are still learning about and no vaccine yet available to combat the spread, what control measures can managers put in place to mitigate the spread from COVID-19? The Spread of Covid-19 COVID-19 has an ...
The Airora patented technology is a Hydroxyl Cascade air and surface sanitiser capable of destroying all types of harmful bacteria and viruses, including the COVID-19 coronavirus. While it is not possible at this time (for safety reasons) to test our technology directly against the COVID-19 virus, we know that Airora's technology destroys ALL types of pathogenic viruses, including those in the ...
For The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. The WHO continues to be a trusted source of the latest information about this unprecedented situation, with frequent updates posted at who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019 as well as via Twitter @WHO. Key advice from the WHO on minimising the spread of infection by SARS-CoV-2 ...
This case study discusses hospital readmissions and provides healthcare professionals with recommended medical algorithms in the form of scores, models, and calculators that can aid in reducing readmissions, especially when related to antibiotic resistant microbiological pathogens. When health analytics, such as the CDC antibiotic resistance program and other algorithms are integrated into ...
Abstract Aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) may expose health care workers (HCWs) to pathogens causing acute respiratory infections (ARIs), but the risk of transmission of ARIs from AGPs is not fully known. We sought to determine the clinical evidence for the risk of transmission of ARIs to HCWs caring for patients undergoing AGPs compared with the risk of transmission to HCWs caring for ...
A fact, today approximately 271 people (the equivalent of one major airline crash) will die from healthcare associated infections such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile (C-Diff) in the United States alone. ...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was once largely a hospital-acquired infection, but increasingly, community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) is causing outbreaks among otherwise healthy people in athletic settings. Secondary school athletic trainers, student athletes, ...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) was predominantly a hospital-acquired organism; recently, however, community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) has been causing outbreaks in otherwise healthy individuals involved in athletics. As such, CA-MRSA is of ...
