Abstract We analyzed antimicrobial susceptibility test results reported in healthcare-associated infections by California hospitals during 2014–2017. Approximately 3.2% of Enterobacteriaceae were resistant to carbapenems and 26.9% cephalosporins. The proportion cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli increased 7% (risk ratio 1.07, 95% CI 1.04–1.11) per year
During September 1, 2020-April 30, 2021, the California Department of Public Health, Richmond, California, USA, received 255 positive influenza molecular test results that matched with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 results; 58 (23%) persons were co-infected. Influenza activity was minimal in and co-infections sporadic.
ABSTRACT As of August 2022, cases acute severe hepatitis unknown etiology in children have been reported from 35 countries, including the United States. Here we used PCR testing, viral enrichment based sequencing, and agnostic metagenomic sequencing to analyze 27 samples, nasopharyngeal swab, stool, plasma, and/or whole blood, 16 such 6 states (Alabama, California, Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, South Dakota) presenting October 1, 2021 May 22, parallel with blood samples 45 controls....
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the Orange County Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) prevention collaborative’s effect on rates of CDI in acute-care hospitals (ACHs) County, California. Design: Controlled interrupted time series. Methods: We convened a collaborative with healthcare facilities to reduce incidence region. Collaborative participants received onsite control and antimicrobial stewardship assessments, interactive learning discussion sessions, an interfacility transfer...
This diagnostic study describes a dog screening program used to identify COVID-19 infections among schoolchildren.
We analyzed California hospitals’ National Healthcare Safety Network Annual Surveys to describe antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) implementation progress following new state ASP legislation. The proportion of hospitals with all 7 Core Elements Hospital rose from 59.3% in 2014 69.2% 2015 ( P <.001). Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2017;38:1503–1505
New legislation required California hospitals to adopt and implement an antimicrobial stewardship policy by July 1, 2015. The must be in accordance with guidelines established the federal government professional organizations. Hospitals were also establish a physician-supervised multidisciplinary program (ASP) committee appoint at least one physician or pharmacist who completed training. Since 2008, mandated evaluate judicious use of antibiotics report ASP activities hospital quality...

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Program and Orange County Care Agency convened a Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) prevention collaborative with health care facilities in (OC) to reduce CDI incidence the region. We invited all 34 hospitals 76 skilled nursing (SNF) OC participate from June 2015 2016. Participants received onsite control antimicrobial stewardship assessments, trainings, an interfacility transfer communication...
Background. Since 2008, California acute care hospitals have been required to develop processes for evaluating the judicious use of antibiotics and report results their quality improvement committees. A national survey conducted in 2011 found were significantly more likely an antimicrobial stewardship policy than other states. New legislation further requires implement accordance with guidelines establish a physician-supervised multidisciplinary committee at least one physician or pharmacist...
• The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Program oversees the prevention, surveillance, and reporting HAIs in acute care hospitals. Approximately 400 hospitals report HAI data to CDPH via CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). When central lineassociated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), are required indicate associated pathogen(s) specific antimicrobial susceptibility test results. Pathogen from CLABSIs reported by NHSN during...
Regional measures of antibiotic-resistant (AR) infections are needed to monitor trends and inform public health prevention efforts. California hospitals required report central line-associated bloodstream (CLABSI) surgical site (SSI) the Department Public Health (CDPH) via National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). Hospitals may electively share catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) data with CDPH for AR surveillance. NHSN healthcare-associated (HAI) reports include pathogen...
Abstract Background Antibiotic-resistant healthcare-associated infections (HAI) threaten patient safety and public health. HAI reported by California hospitals to the National Healthcare Safety Network include pathogen antibiotic susceptibility information. We analyzed data measure regional changes in resistance (AR) over time among select bacteria. Methods central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) using log binomial regression models estimate annual change proportion of...
Abstract Background Legionnaires’ disease (LD) causes significant morbidity and mortality to hospital patients residents of skilled nursing facilities (SNF). In California, LD is reportable local health departments via the California Reportable Disease Information Exchange (CalREDIE) surveillance system. Cases are classified as suspected or confirmed using Centers for Control Prevention (CDC) definitions. The Department Public Health (CDPH) Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Program...
