Mashup Score: 52Guidelines for the management of norovirus outbreaks in acute and community health and social care settings - 1 year(s) ago
Norovirus remains the most prevalent gastrointestinal pathogen. Outbreaks in healthcare and non-healthcare settings are still reported and norovirus is still estimated to cost the UK National Health Service (NHS) more than £100 million annually. Previous UK guidelines1 were published over a decade ago and new knowledge and technologies have since emerged. These updated guidelines focus on…

In-line filters in peripheral and central venous catheters are used to mechanically remove bacterial cells. A recent study indicated the extension of the use of infusion sets to seven days. There is no evidence regarding replacement intervals for in-line filters.

The UK High Consequence Infectious Diseases (HCID) Network of high level isolation units (HLIU) provides care for patients with contact-transmissible or airborne-transmissible highly infectious and highly dangerous diseases. In most HCID units the healthcare workers (HCW) wear personal protective equipment (PPE) ensembles incorporating a powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) for head and…

Mashup Score: 0Epidemiology of healthcare-associated SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks in Germany between March 2020 and May 2022 - 1 year(s) ago
Outbreaks in healthcare facilities played a pivotal role in the course of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We aimed to investigate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreaks in hospitals, outpatient care, and rehabilitation facilities in Germany from March 2020 to May 2022. We used data from the German mandatory notification system to describe outbreaks by number…

Mashup Score: 0Interlaboratory reproducibility of a touch-transfer assay for the assessment of antimicrobial surfaces - 1 year(s) ago
Various assay methods have been developed to study antimicrobial activity based on contamination of surfaces with different amounts of liquid bacterial suspensions. Since surfaces with frequent hand contact are typically touched in a dry state in clinical settings, these tests may be inappropriate at assessing effectiveness to reduce pathogen transmission.

Mashup Score: 0The impact of bedside wipes in multi-patient rooms: a prospective, crossover trial evaluating infections and survival - 1 year(s) ago
Multidrug resistant organisms (MDRO) are prevalent on high-touch surfaces in multi-patient rooms. We quantified the impact of hanging single-use cleaning/disinfecting wipes next to each bed. Pre-specified outcomes were: 1) hospital-acquired infections (HAI), 2) cleaning frequency, 3) MDRO room contamination, 4) new MDRO acquisitions, and 5) mortality.

We read with interest the recent article by O’Connell et al. [1] which describes a COVID-19 acute care outbreak and questions the protection afforded by recommended personal protective equipment (PPE) using a surgical mask, eye protection, gowns and gloves against the transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis, and mainly transmitted via fecal-oral contamination or consumption of contaminated food products. However, limited data regarding on the surface stability and HEV sensitivity to chemical disinfectants are available. Here, we established an HEV-based carrier assay to evaluate its surface stability and the virucidal activity…
