Limited evidence exists on oral hygiene's role in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia in children. This study evaluates anti-infective agents in oral care to reduce VAP incidence in critically ill kids. 🪥ow.ly/FyxA50VZTHw🦷

Hospital sink drains can harbor infection-causing bacteria. This study evaluated Drainpipe Thermal Disinfection Units (DTDUs) in preventing bacterial colonization in new metal drainpipes #HealthcareInnovation #InfectionPrevention journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S0195-…🏥

👊Fighting AMR in a resource-limited setting: an integrated approach to infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship is crucial for success #AntimicrobialStewardship #GlobalHealth #HealthEquity ▶️ow.ly/lUs450VRCCx

Totally agree. This integrated approach should be strengthened at all levels of the health system. #AMR #IPC #Stewardship #GlobalHealth

Non-sterile disposable medical gloves are essential for reducing cross-contamination in healthcare settings, but glove boxes and unused gloves can be contaminated. This study compared glove box surface contamination between novel and standard glove boxes 🧤ow.ly/iGwK50VZTZw

Microorganisms, including MDROs, persist on hospital surfaces, especially patient privacy curtains (PPCs). This study evaluates a multilevel antimicrobial polymer (MAP-1) coating on PPCs to reduce microbial loads and lower hospital-acquired infections 🦠ow.ly/OJnw50W2x2J

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are transforming hospital logistics, especially in Emergency Departments, by streamlining operations and reducing infection risk. New study evaluates disinfection methods for AMRs in real-life settings #RoboticsInHealthcare ow.ly/jTUv50VZUww

Far-UV-C radiation may inactivate Candida spp., independent of their resistance profile. The use of LEDs may enable the treatment of areas that are not accessible by the use of common antiseptics such as the throat or the middle ear 👂ow.ly/SL8I50W2wYm

Authors aim to comprehensively evaluate the implementation of the SanibitTMsystem in the ICU using individualized reminders and incentives. What impact do these interventions have on hand hygiene compliance in a 4 phased, prospective trial? 🙌ow.ly/AAyn50W2x4z

Hospital sink drains harbor pathogens causing HAIs. Cleaning is crucial to limit transmission. This study analyses microbial communities in sink elements and assesses bacterial recolonization after cleaning. 🏥ow.ly/XUcz50W3cjA

The authors of this study evaluated trends in multidrug-resistant pathogens in ICU bloodstream infections using data from the Korean National Healthcare-Associated Infections Surveillance System #PatientSafety #AntimicrobialResistance #ClinicalResearch 🦠ow.ly/2CBm50W3cr2

The true burden of healthcare-associated infections #HCAIs in Ukraine remains unclear. A pilot survey in 2021 had limited data, so this new multicenter study was developed to help better understand the situation #HealthcareUkraine #PublicHealth ow.ly/MzRt50W6auo

Carbapenem-resistant #AcinetobacterBaumannii (CRAB) infections have high fatality rates. Effective interventions to prevent cross-transmission have rarely been tested. This study assesses impact of cohorting CRAB patients with environmental cleaning ow.ly/YZY450W6aFz

#AntimicrobialStewardship programmes aim to enhance antibiotic prescription quality, reduce antimicrobial use and combat multidrug-resistant pathogens. This study evaluates an education-based AMS intervention in a 1500-bed hospital ow.ly/l1VP50W6aJh

Aerosol transmission of infections is of concern where isolation rooms are limited. This study introduces a canopy - a vertical airflow system with ceramic wall flow filters designed to reduce the spread of airborne pathogens in hospital environments ow.ly/6qBX50W6cNB
