The Last of Us: Separating Fungal Fact From Fiction
Anne Meneghetti, MD, juxtaposes the portrayal of fungal infections in HBO’s The Last of Us with real-world concerns about rising rates of antimicrobial resistance.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Older Age, Prior AMR Risk Factors for Adverse Outcomes in Uncomplicated UTI
Researchers assessed whether adverse outcomes in women with uncomplicated UTI are more likely when initial antibiotic therapy does not cover the causative uropathogen.
Effect of Chlorhexidine Gluconate Bathing on Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci Transmission
Investigators assessed whether daily bathing with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate decreases the risk for vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) transmission in an intensive care unit with increased VRE endemicity.
Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Bacterial Pathogens Found on Healthcare Workers’ Cellphones
Researchers conducted a study to measure antimicrobial susceptibility of bacterial pathogens isolated from healthcare workers’ cellphones.
Are Urine Droplets From Shared Toilets a Hidden Source of Bacterial Transmission in Health Care Settings?
Researchers conducted a study to determine whether toilet droplets generated during urinary are a vehicle for bacterial transmission and assess if the use of a novel foam spray decreases the risk for transmission.
Risk Factors Associated With Vertical Transmission in Mothers With HIV Infection
Researchers sought to assess whether there is an association between maternal HIV drug resistance and an increased risk for vertical transmission and to describe the dynamics of drug resistance in infants with HIV infection.
Outcomes of Hospital-Acquired Infections in Patients With Severe COVID-19
Investigators conducted a retrospective analysis to assess the characteristics and outcomes of patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 who developed a hospital-acquired infection.
Community-Acquired Urinary Tract Infection: Adverse Effects of Cotrimoxazole vs Fluoroquinolones
Investigators conducted a cohort study that compared adverse effects and outcomes among patients with community-acquired urinary tract infection treated with cotrimoxazole vs fluoroquinolones.
Monotherapy as Effective as Dual Therapy for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
The purpose of the study was to compare a composite clinical failure outcome of 60-day readmission, 60-day recurrence, and mortality in patients treated for MRSA with dual therapy vs those de-escalated to monotherapy.
Tympanostomy Tubes vs Medical Management for Recurrent Acute Otitis Media
As official recommendations about placing tympanostomy tubes conflict, researchers aimed to determine which children would benefit from tympanostomy tube placement instead of medical management for recurrent otitis media infections.
