Residents and staff members of long-term care facilities (LTCFs), because they live work in congregate settings, are at increased risk for infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (1,2). In particular, skilled nursing (SNFs), LTCFs provide rehabilitation services persons complex medical needs, have been documented settings COVID-19 outbreaks (3). addition, residents might be severe outcomes their advanced age or presence underlying chronic...
During the beginning of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, nursing homes were identified as congregate settings at high risk for outbreaks COVID-19 (1,2). Their residents also are higher than general population morbidity and mortality associated with infection SARS-CoV-2, virus that causes COVID-19, in light association severe outcomes older age certain underlying medical conditions (1,3). CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) launched nationwide, facility-level home...
The number of US outbreaks caused by nonpasteurized milk increased from 30 during 2007-2009 to 51 2010-2012. Most were Campylobacter spp. (77%) and purchased states in which sale was legal (81%). Regulations prevent distribution should be enforced.
The interstate commerce of unpasteurized fluid milk, also known as raw is illegal in the United States, and intrastate sales are regulated independently by each state. However, U.S. Food Drug Administration regulations allow sale certain types cheeses made from milk if specific aging requirements met. We describe characteristics these outbreaks, including differences between outbreaks linked to cheese pasteurized or milk.
Introduction: Changes in food production and distribution have increased opportunities for foods contaminated early the supply chain to be distributed widely, increasing possibility of multistate outbreaks. In recent decades, surveillance systems foodborne disease been improved, allowing officials more effectively identify related cases trace an outbreak's source. Materials Methods: We reviewed outbreaks reported Centers Disease Control Prevention's Foodborne Outbreak Surveillance System...
Antibiotic resistance (AR) is a growing and highly prevalent problem in nursing homes. We describe selected AR phenotypes from pathogens causing urinary tract infections (UTIs) reported by homes to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN).Pathogens antibiotic susceptibility testing results for UTI events between January 2013 December 2017 were analyzed. The pathogen distribution pooled mean proportion of isolates that tested resistant select agents are reported.US voluntarily...
Abstract Objective: To assess the national uptake of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) core elements antibiotic stewardship in nursing homes from 2016 to 2018 effect infection prevention control (IPC) hours on implementation elements. Design: Retrospective, repeated cross-sectional analysis. Setting: US homes. Methods: We used National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Long-Term Care Facility Component annual surveys home characteristics percent log-binomial regression models...
As antiretroviral treatment (ART) coverage for people living with HIV (PLHIV) increases, programmes require up-to-date information about evolving risk behaviour and transmission risk, including those low-level viremia (LLV; >50 to ≤1000 copies/mL), guide prevention priorities. We aimed assess differences in sexual behaviours, distribution of viral load (VL) proportion across PLHIV subgroups. analysed data from Population-based Impact Assessment surveys 14 sub-Saharan African countries...
Abstract Background Knowledge of urinary tract infection (UTI) pathogen and susceptibility patterns is necessary to inform antibiotic prescribing monitor resistance. We describe bacterial pathogens UTI resistance among residents in nursing homes (NHs) reporting the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) long-term care facility (LTCF) component. Methods All events from January 1, 2013 December 31, 2016 were included; up three organisms per event may be reported. Pathogen results for...

Background: Catheter-associated symptomatic urinary tract infections (CA-SUTIs) are a common adverse healthcare event in nursing homes and have been the focus of multiple prevention strategies. 1 In 2012, CDC launched NHSN Long-Term Care Facility (LTCF) Component, which homes, CDC, collaborators can use to monitor home CA-SUTI incidence progress. 2 The objective this analysis was compare rates reporting patterns between 2013–2015 2016–2018. Methods: We analyzed data from during 2013–2018....
Abstract Background Since 2016, nursing homes (NHs) enrolled in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s NHSN Long-term Care Facility (LTCF) Component have reported on their implementation of core elements antibiotic stewardship. In 42% NHs implementing all seven elements. Recent regulations require stewardship programs NHs. The objectives this analysis were to track national progress evaluate how time dedicated infection prevention control (IPC) is associated with Methods We used...
