Abstract Background Noroviruses are the major cause of viral gastroenteritis. Disease transmission is difficult to prevent and outbreaks in health-care facilities commonly occur. Contact with infected persons contaminated environments believed be main routes transmission. However, noroviruses have recently been found aerosols airborne has suggested. The aim our study was investigate associations between symptoms gastroenteritis presence norovirus, size norovirus-carrying particles. Methods...
New technologies have emerged in recent years for the disinfection of hospital rooms and equipment that may not be disinfected adequately using conventional methods. There are several hydrogen peroxide-based area decontamination on market, but no head-to-head studies been performed.We conducted a vitro comparison peroxide vapor (HPV) system (Bioquell) an aerosolized (aHP) (Sterinis).The tests were purpose-built 136-m(3) test room.One HPV generator 2 aHP machines used, following...
Neisseria animaloris and zoodegmatis, former CDC Group EF-4a -4b, are considered to be rare zoonotic pathogens, usually associated with dog or cat bites. The aim of the study was phenotypicaly characterize 13 EF-4 isolates from wound infections, determine their antibiotic susceptibility follow clinical outcome patients.13 were cultured on agar plates. Conventional biochemical tests Biolog system used for phenotypical identification. An arbitrary primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR)...
A few days after a mild trauma to toe, 90-year-old woman presented with fever, malaise and cellulitis. On suspicion of erysipelas the patient was initially treated benzylpenicillin cefuroxime. Her general condition improved rapidly, but there local progression numerous necrotic areas surrounding bullae. Vibrio vulnificus isolated from blood. After susceptibility testing, finally ciprofloxacin pivampicillin, recovered slowly. To our knowledge, this is first reported case bacteremia V. in Sweden.
To describe the experience of planning and designing a new facility for infectious diseases in Sweden to discuss underlying theories relating infection prevention evidence-based design.Departments Infectious Diseases are common healthcare facililties Sweden. In 2005, decision was made build facility. The program required spacious single rooms, with high ventilation standard, anterooms.In this article we present an analysis future diseases. Underlying discussed. We also how outlined using...
To determine whether hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) could be used to decontaminate caliciviruses from surfaces in a patient room.Feline calicivirus (FCV) and murine norovirus (MNV) were as surrogate viability markers mimic the noncultivable human norovirus. Cell culture supernatants of FCV MNV dried triplicate 35-mm wells 6-well plastic plates. These plates placed various positions nonoccupied room that was subsequently exposed HPV. Control positioned similar but never HPV.Virucidal activity...
Hydrogen peroxide vapour is used as a room disinfectant. Its activity against murine norovirus, surrogate viability marker for human indicates that it also active norovirus.The aim of this study to assess how effect on reflected in measurements RNA by quantitative PCR (qPCR).Faeces suspensions two norovirus field strains, genogroup I and II one cultured strain, (genogroup V) were dried plastic plates, underwent hydrogen treatment or mock treated. The influence was measured genogroups I, V...

39 children with prolonged nasopharyngeal carriage (48-328 days) of intermediately to highly penicillin-resistant pneumococci (PRP) were treated for 7 days rifampicin in combination amoxicillin (n = 18) erythromycin 17) or clindamycin 4), according resistance pattern. In all children, except 1 carrying a rifampicin-resistant strain, control cultures from the nasopharynx 1-2 weeks after last antibiotic dosage, yielded no growth PRP. 2 brothers, PRP same serogroup and pattern found 10...

Background: The South Swedish Pneumococcal Intervention Project (SSPIP) was started in 1995 with the aim of limiting spread penicillin-non-susceptible pneumococci (PNSP) Skåne County, Sweden. As part SSPIP, eradication therapy rifampicin combination 1 more antibiotic considered on a social indication after prolonged carriage 2–3 months. Methods: In this retrospective study, 125 medical records were analyzed. Children aged 0–10 y referred for Malmö and Lund, due to nasopharyngeal PNSP...
