Rapid, reference-free identification of bacterial pathogen transmission using optimized split k-mer analysis Open
Infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are difficult to treat and often life threatening and place a burden on the healthcare system. Minimizing the transmission of MDROs in hospitals is a global priority with genomics …

Optimising genomic approaches for identifying vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium transmission in healthcare settings Open
Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) is a major nosocomial pathogen. Identifying VREfm transmission dynamics permits targeted interventions, and while genomics is increasingly being utilised, methods are not yet standardised o…

A Simple Cleaning Intervention to Prevent Transmission of Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacterales from Hospital Sinks Open
Background: A prolonged outbreak of carbapenemase-producing Serratia marcescens (CPSM) was identified in our quaternary healthcare center over a 2-year period from 2015 through 2017. A reservoir of IMP-4–producing S. marcescens in sink dra…

Control of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae,<i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i>, and<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>in Healthcare Facilities: A Systematic Review and Reanalysis of Quasi-experimental Studies Open
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPsA) are a serious cause of healthcare-associated infections, although the evidence for their control remains uncertain. We conduc…

Evolutionary origins of the emergent ST796 clone of vancomycin resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> Open
From early 2012, a novel clone of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium (assigned the multi locus sequence type ST796) was simultaneously isolated from geographically separate hospitals in south eastern Australia and New Zealand. Here …

Improving Antimicrobial Stewardship by Antibiotic Allergy Delabeling: Evaluation of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices Throughout the Emerging Infections Network Open
Antibiotic allergy testing (AAT) practices of Emerging Infections Network infectious disease physicians were surveyed. Although AAT was perceived to be necessary for removal of inappropriate or unnecessary allergy labels, there was limited…

Use of an Innovative Personality-Mindset Profiling Tool to Guide Culture-Change Strategies among Different Healthcare Worker Groups Open
Compared to current standardised approaches, targeted interventions based on personality differences between HCW categories should result in improved infection control-related culture-change uptake. Personality profiling based on HR data m…
