Following a serogroup B meningococcal disease outbreak at an Oregon university, carriage evaluation was conducted in conjunction with MenB-FHbp and MenB-4C vaccination campaign. Neither vaccine associated reduced among participants.
The structure and function of microorganisms that live in on us, the human microbiota, are a tremendous resource. Microbiota may help to explain individual variability health outcomes be source new biomarkers for environmental exposures novel prognostic diagnostic indicators. increase availability low-cost, high-throughput techniques makes it relatively straightforward include microbiota assessments epidemiologic studies. With recent joint publications findings Human Microbiome Consortium...
One function of skin microbiota is to resist colonization and infection by external microorganisms. We sought detect whether the structure hand 34 healthcare workers (HCW) in a surgical intensive care unit mediates or modifies relationship between demographic behavioral factors potential pathogen carriage on hands after accounting for exposure. used taxonomic screen (16S rRNA) characterize bacterial community, qPCR presence Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus spp., methicillin-resistant...
We assessed the dynamics of hand microbial community structure 34 healthcare workers from a single surgical intensive care unit over short (3 week) time period, whilst taking into account technical sources variability introduced by specimen collection, DNA extraction, and sequencing. Sample collection took place at 3 different points. Only sampling method appeared to have significant impact on observed among workers. Analysis samples collected using glove-juice showed slightly more similar...

The Right Size Roadmap was developed by the Association of Public Health Laboratories and Centers for Disease Control Prevention to improve influenza virologic surveillance efficiency. Guidelines were provided state health departments regarding representativeness statistical estimates specimen numbers needed seasonal situational awareness, rare or novel virus detection, investigation.The aim this study compare sampling recommendations with Idaho's determine implementation feasibility.We...
