Hospitals are exposed to abundant contamination sources with limited remediation strategies. Without new countermeasures or treatments, the risk of hospital-associated infections will remain high. This study explored the impact of advanced photohydrolysis (AP) continuous disinfection technology on hospital environmental bioburden.
This study describes an outbreak caused by multispecies carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) occurring in a pediatric ward at an academic medical center in Tokyo.
Surgical site infection (SSI) prevalence is higher in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) than in high-income counterparts. This study covers 116 INICC member hospitals in 75 cities across 25 Latin American, Asian, Eastern European, and Middle Eastern countries, including Argentina, Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador,...
The National Clinician Consultation Center (NCCC) operates the PEPline, a federally-funded educational resource providing bloodborne pathogen exposure management tele-consultation to U.S. clinicians.
Medical waste bins are potential source of microbial contamination in hospital environment, while there is no clear guidance for the management of them. We aimed to assess the impact of medical waste bins on patient’s environment.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs) hold largely untapped potential in infectious disease management. This review explores their current use and uncovers areas needing more attention.
