  • Infection control--a European research perspective for the next decade. (2011)

    Authors:Dettenkofer, M.; Ammon, A.; Astagneau, P.; Dancer, S.J.; Gastmeier, P.; Harbarth, S.; Humphreys, H.; Kern, W.V.; Lyytikainen, O.; Sax, H.; Voss, A.; Widmer, A.F.
    In:Journal of Hospital Infection, 77, 7 - 10. ISSN 0195-6701.

    Abstract:

    A symposium was held in June 2009 near Freiburg in Germany. Twenty-nine attendees from several European countries participated, most of whom are actively involved in research and hospital infection prevention and control. The following topics were presented and discussed: isolation and screening for

  • Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in humans, Europe. (2011)

    Authors:Cleef, B.A. van; Monnet, D.L.; Voss, A.; Krziwanek, K.; Allerberger, F.; Struelens, M.; Zemlickova, H.; Skov, R.L.; Vuopio-Varkila, J.; Cuny, C.; Friedrich, A.W.; Spiliopoulou, I.; Paszti, J.; Hardardottir, H.; Rossney, A.; Pan, A.; Pantosti, A.; Borg, M.; Grundmann, H.; Mueller-Premru, M.; Olsson-Liljequist, B.; Widmer, A.; Harbarth, S.; Schweiger, A.; Unal, S.; Kluytmans, J.A.
    In:Emerging Infectious Diseases, 17, 502 - 505. ISSN 1080-6040.

    Abstract:

    To estimate the proportion of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from humans that were sequence type (ST) 398, we surveyed 24 laboratories in 17 countries in Europe in 2007. Livestock-associated MRSA ST398 accounted for only a small proportion of MRSA isolates from humans; m

  • New diagnostic microarray (Check-KPC ESBL) for detection and identification of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in highly resistant Enterobacteriaceae. (2011)

    Authors:Willemsen, I.; Overdevest, I.; Naiemi, N. Al; Rijnsburger, M.; Savelkoul, P.; Vandenbroucke-Grauls, C.; Kluytmans, J.; Lommerse, E.; Spanjaard, L.; Vlaminckx, B.; Voss, A.; Wulf, M.W.; Vos, M.; Wintermans, R.; Andriese, G.; Zeijl, J. van; Vorm, E. van der; Buiting, A.; Sturm, P.D.; Blok, H.; Troelstra, A.
    In:Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 49, 2985 - 2987. ISSN 0095-1137.

    Abstract:

    The performance of a microarray for the detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases was determined on a collection of 638 highly resistant members of the family Enterobacteriaceae collected from patients in 18 hospitals in The Netherlands. The microarray had a significantly higher specificity tha

  • Novel types of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec elements identified in clonal complex 398 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains. (2011)

    Authors:Li, S.; Skov, R.L.; Han, X.; Larsen, A.R.; Larsen, J.; Sorum, M.; Wulf, M.; Voss, A.; Hiramatsu, K.; Ito, T.
    In:Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 55, 3046 - 3050. ISSN 0066-4804.

    Abstract:

    The structures of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) elements carried by 31 clonal complex 398 (CC398) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains isolated from the participants at a conference were analyzed. The SCCmecs were classified into novel types, namely, IX, X, V(

  • The distribution of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in MRSA CC398 is associated with both host and country. (2011)

    Authors:McCarthy, A.J.; Witney, A.A.; Gould, K.A.; Moodley, A.; Guardabassi, L.; Voss, A.; Denis, O.; Broens, E.M.; Hinds, J.; Lindsay, J.A.
    In:Genome Biology and Evolution, 3, 1164 - 1174. ISSN 1759-6653.

    Abstract:

    Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clonal complex (CC) 398 has emerged from pigs to cause human infections in Europe and North America. We used a new 62-strain S. aureus microarray (SAM-62) to compare genomes of isolates from three geographical areas (Belgium, Denmark, and Netherlands) to u

  • Importance of structured training programs and good role models in hand hygiene in developing countries. (2011)

    Authors:Alp, E.; Ozturk, A.; Guven, M.; Celik, I.; Doganay, M.; Voss, A.
    In:Journal of infection and public health, 4, 80 - 90. ISSN 1876-035x.

    Abstract:

    The aim of this study is to identify the beliefs and perceptions associated with hand hygiene performance in two different institutions with limited resources and recently established infection control programme later than developed institutions. The study was conducted in two different hospitals (U

  • Infection control practice in countries with limited resources. (2011)

    Authors:Alp, E.; Leblebicioglu, H.; Doganay, M.; Voss, A.
    In:Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 10, 36 - 36. ISSN 1476-0711.

    Abstract:

    Nosocomial infections and their control are a world-wide challenge. The prevalence of nosocomial infections is generally higher in developing countries with limited resources than industrialized countries. In this paper we aimed to further explain the differences with regard to infection control cha

  • Society's failure to protect a precious resource: antibiotics (2011)

    Authors:Carlet, J.; Collignon, P.; Goldmann, D.; Goossens, H.; Gyssens, I.C.J.; Harbarth, S.; Jarlier, V.; Levy, S.B.; N'Doye, B.; Pittet, D.; Richtmann, R.; Seto, W.H.; Meer, J.W. van der; Voss, A.

  • Rapid diagnostic testing of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus carriage at different anatomical sites: costs and benefits of less extensive screening regimens (2011)

    Authors:Wassenberg, M.W.; Kluytmans, J.A.; Bosboom, R.W.; Buiting, A.G.M.; Elzakker, E.P. van; Melchers, W.J.G.; Thijsen, S.F.; Troelstra, A.; Vandenbroucke-Grauls, C.M.; Visser, C.E.; Voss, A.; Wolffs, P.F.; Wulf, M.W.H.; Zwet, A.A. van; Wit, G.A. de; Bonten, M.J.
    In:Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 17, 1704 - 1710. ISSN 1198-743x.

    Abstract:

    Multiple body site screening and pre-emptive isolation of patients at risk for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage are considered essential for control of nosocomial spread. The relative importance of extranasal screening when using rapid diagnostic testing (RDT) is unknown.

    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE: Selective digestive tract decontamination aims to eradicate gram-negative bacteria in both the intestinal tract and respiratory tract and is combined with a 4-day course of intravenous cefotaxime. Selective oropharyngeal decontamination only aims to eradicate respiratory tract colonizatio
