We surveyed 57 nursing home residents to assess the subjective impact of COVID-19 prevention practices. Residents were mostly accepting of testing and symptom screening; however, many would like more choices. Sixty-nine percent want to have some say

Testing inappropriate stool samples for Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile can lead to the identification of the patient colonized with C difficile and erroneous diagnosis of an active infection. We hypothesized that a multidisciplinary process

Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention to reduce the incidence of non-ventilator-associated hospital-acquired pneumonia (NV-HAP) and to determine compliance with preventive measures.

Microbial contamination of external-use ultrasound probes is a serious and overlooked issue. We assessed the effects of different methods of disinfecting medical external-use ultrasound probes.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of switch therapy of antimicrobials on cost reduction (pharmacoeconomic analysis) and hospital waste generation by switching from intravenous to oral therapy. This is a cross-sectional, observational

Hospital acquired infections (HAIs) are a major driver of morbidity and cost in health systems. Central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) require intensive surveillance and review. All-cause hospital-onset bacteremia (HOB) may be a

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) can be divided according to its acquisition site, health care (HC) or community (CA) associated CDI. Studies showed severe disease, higher recurrence, and mortality among HC-CDI patients, while others reported

Clostridioides difficle infection (CDI) can be divided according to its acquisition site, healthcare (HC-CDI) or community (CA-CDI). Studies showed severe disease, higher recurrence, and mortality among HC-CDI patients, while others reported the
