Waves of resistance: Staphylococcus aureus in the antibiotic era (2009, background): “aureus is by direct contact, usually skin-to-skin contact with a colonized or infected individual, although contact with contaminated objects and surfaces might also have a rol”
Antimicrobial-associated risk factors for Clostridium difficile infection. (2008, background): “It appears that the best strategy for antimicrobial intervention is to minimize unnecessary antimicrobial exposure in a programmatic fashion, which can be accomplished through a comprehensive antimicrobial stewardship program [18, 31, 57, 72, 73].”
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Europe, 1999–2002 (2004, background): “The emergence of MRSA is largely due to dissemination of clonal strains, and temporary hospital outbreaks are typically due to clonal expansion (36).”
Guidelines for the control and prevention of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in healthcare facilities. (2006, methodology): “Management of the environment and equipment should be considered as central to decrease the spread of MRSA.”
Infectious Diseases Society of America and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America guidelines for developing an institutional program to enhance antimicrobial stewardship. (2007, background): “of resistance [46, 47] is considered to be optimal [48].”
Emergence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus USA300 genotype as a major cause of health care-associated blood stream infections. (2006, background): “The mean age of patients was 47 years, 62% were male, 38% were female, and 82% were African American.”
The rise of the Enterococcus: beyond vancomycin resistance (2012, background): “This concept highlights the importance of curtailing the chain of transmission through active surveillance and contact precautions for infected and colonized individuals, through implementation of strict hand hygiene practices for health care workers, through judicious use of antimicrobials (via pro”
Clinical practice guidelines for antimicrobial prophylaxis in surgery. (2013, neutral): “aureus isolated from SSIs to mupirocin is recommended [164].”
Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Control in Acute-Care Settings (2011, methodology): “Also influencing these recommendations are reports of two VRE outbreaks in the early 1990s that were aborted after contact precautions were instituted, including the mandatory use of gowns and gloves by anyone in contact with infected or colonized patients (32, 33, 275).”
Summary of the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America Guidelines for Developing an Institutional Program to Enhance Antimicrobial Stewardship (2007, background): “of resistance [46, 47] is considered to be optimal [48].”
Guidelines for Preventing Infectious Complications among Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients: A Global Perspective (2009, background): “For patients with severe hypogammaglobulinemia (ie, IgG \400 mg/dL), IVIG prophylaxis may be considered (Appendix 1) (CIII).”
Real-Time PCR in Clinical Microbiology: Applications for Routine Laboratory Testing (2006, background): “Numerous studies have shown that surveillance for and isolation of carriers of MRSA and VRE can significantly reduce the incidence of nosocomial infections by these organisms and be cost-saving (327).”
