Early detection of pathogen cross-transmission events and environmental reservoirs is needed to control derived nosocomial outbreaks. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) considered the gold standard for outbreak confirmation, but, in most cases, it time-consuming has elevated costs. Consequently, timely incorporation WGS results conventional epidemiology (CE) investigations rapid scarce. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) a technique that establishes similarity among bacteria based on...
Our aim was to determine changes in the incidence of CD infection (CDI) following introduction a two-step diagnostic algorithm and analyze CDI cases diagnosed study period. We retrospectively studied (January 2009 July 2018) adults by toxin enzyme immunoassay (EIA) (2009−2012) or toxin-EIA + polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (2013 onwards). A total 443 patients with first episode were included, 297 (67.1%) toxin-EIA-positive 146 (32.9%) toxin-EIA-negative/PCR-positive only identified through...
Background Cancer has been associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality in CDI patients. However, data on delayed cancer patients are scarce. Aim/Objective The aim the present study was to compare outcomes between oncological and general population Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) after 90 days follow-up. Methods A multicenter prospective cohort conducted 28 hospitals participating VINCat program. Cases were all consecutive adult who met case definition CDI....
Abstract We assessed hygiene with wet wipes in bedridden patients urinary catheters for catheter-associated tract infection (CAUTI) prevention. CAUTIs occurred 16.5% of the control group compared to 5.9% intervention ( P = .035). Hygiene can substitute conventional preventing CAUTI.
Background: The 2016 cumulative incidence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in Spain was reported by the European Center for Disease Control to be above mean other countries. aim this multicenter prospective observational cohort study examine risk factors that determine 90-day CDI recurrence Catalonia, Spain. Methods: included 558 consecutive adults admitted hospital who had a symptomatic, first positive diagnosis. Sociodemographic, clinical and epidemiological variables were...
Background: Hospital-acquired Clostridioides difficile infection (HA-CDI) is a major control challenge. Using whole-genome sequencing, <40% of HA-CDI cases have been estimated to acquired from other inpatient cases. Huge regional variations described depending on the prevalence epidemic ribotypes. We hypothesized that, according geographical area, in rates between hospitals could be attributable either differences policies or antimicrobial consumption. Objectives: To assess association...
