Implementation and outcomes of a rapid response genomic hospital epidemiology programme at an academic medical centre over 7 years Open
Advances in genomic technologies have revolutionised practices for hospital infection prevention and control programmes. In this Personal View, we describe a genomic epidemiology service called the Rapid Response (RR) programme at Universi…

Monitoring health disparities in healthcare-associated infection surveillance: A Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) Research Network (SRN) Survey Open
We investigated whether and how infection prevention programs monitor for health disparities as part of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) surveillance through a survey of healthcare epidemiology leaders. Most facilities are not assessi…

Whole-genome sequencing rule-out of suspected hospital-onset <i>Rhizopus</i> outbreaks Open
Two independent temporal-spatial clusters of hospital-onset Rhizopus infections were evaluated using whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that isolates within each cluster were unrelated despite epidemiological su…

Monitoring disparities in healthcare-associated infection surveillance: A SHEA Research Network (SRN) Survey Open
Background: Inequities are seen in many health-related outcomes, and systemic and structural factors result in inequitable care based on social determinants of health (SDOH). However, whether disparities exist specifically in healthcare-as…

Prolonged silent carriage, genomic virulence potential and transmission between staff and patients characterize a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) outbreak of methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) Open
Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important pathogen in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) that confers significant morbidity and mortality. Objective: Improving our understanding of MRSA transmission d…

Genomic epidemiologic assessment implicates prolonged silent carriage, virulence factors and transmission between staff and patients in a NICU outbreak of MRSA Open
Introduction Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important pathogen in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) that carries significant morbidity and mortality. Improving our understanding of MRSA transmission dynamics, e…

COVID‐19 in the Perioperative Setting: Applying a Hierarchy of Controls to Prevent Transmission Open
The evolution of SARS‐CoV‐2 from a zoonotic virus to a novel human pathogen resulted in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) global pandemic. Health care delivery and infection prevention and control recommendations continue to evolve t…
