There is considerable interest in the use of bacteriophages (phages) to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections associated with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). These are often challenging manage due high rates multidrug resistance and biofilm formation, which could potentially be overcome phages. We report a case 54-year-old man relapsing multidrug-resistant P. LVAD driveline infection, who was treated combination two lytic antipseudomonal phages administered intravenously locally....
ObjectiveTo develop a consensus-based set of generic competencies in antimicrobial prescribing and stewardship for European prescribers through structured consensus procedure.MethodsThe RAND-modified Delphi procedure comprised two online questionnaire rounds, face-to-face meeting between final review. Our departure point was agreed previously by among UK multi-disciplinary panel, which had been subsequently revised consultation with ESCMID Study Group representatives. The 46 draft competency...
Building the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance network in Veterinary medicine (EARS-Vet) was proposed to strengthen One Health antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance approach.
We investigated the faecal carriage prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase production in Escherichia coli (EP-EC) and/or Klebsiella pneumoniae (EP-KP) and risk factors associated with among adult study subjects Finland, Germany, Latvia, Poland, Russia Sweden (partner countries). The aim was to get indicative data on ESBL-carriage specific populations region. Faecal samples were collected from four screened ChromID-ESBL ChromID-OXA-48 plates. Positive isolates further characterised...
Washing hands is one of the most important ways to prevent infectious diseases, including COVID-19. The World Health Organization (WHO) has published hand-washing guidelines. This paper presents a large real-world dataset with videos recording medical staff washing their as part normal job duties in Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital. There are 3185 episodes total, each which annotated by up seven different persons. annotations classify movements according WHO guidelines marking...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of disease 2019 (COVID-19)] outbreak has been declared a global pandemic by World Health Organization. The COVID-19 highlighted problems sustainable infection prevention and control measures worldwide, particularly emerging issues with an insufficient supply personal protective equipment. aim this study was to provide action plan for mitigation occupational hazards nosocomial spread SARS-CoV-2 through failure...
Abstract Background Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programmes are established across the world to treat infections efficiently, prioritize patient safety, and reduce emergence of antimicrobial resistance. One core elements AMS is guidance support direct physicians in making efficient, safe optimal decisions when prescribing antibiotics. To optimize tailor AMS, we need a better understanding physicians’ experience with guidance. Objectives explore user experience, needs targeted improvements...

Background: Thousands of people die every day around the world from infections acquired in a hospital. Hands are main pathways germ transmission during healthcare. Hand hygiene monitoring can be performed using various methods. One latest techniques that combine all is neural network-based hand system. Methods/Design: Each participant 3 hand-washing trials, each time receiving different type feedback. The order which study used developed applications was strictly defined, thus session...
