Global science and perspectives on infection prevention - for practitioners, researchers and the public.
With the spread, and impending pandemic, of antimicrobial resistance, public health agencies from around the world are promoting a multifaceted approach to limit the use of necessary antimicrobials. Multiple studies have concluded that increased…
When a new virus emerges or an old one re-emerges, one of the earliest conversations is about whether there exist good tests to detect it. Laboratory testing takes different forms but remains key to…
Cervical Cancer and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) are two diseases affecting women's health that could be greatly reduced through prevention practices and regular screening. For myriad reasons, many women, even those with ready access…
Editorial by Rodney E. Rohde, Ph.D April 24, 2016 marks the kick-off of National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week (#MLPW #LabWeek #Lab4Life). But, I often wonder if my friends, family, the general public, and even my…
Fungal diagnostics is an often overlooked field that has indirectly resulted in an increase in the number of antifungal-resistant pathogens. Fungal infections, such as candidosis and aspergillosis are the predominant types of fungal infections,…
We are pleased to announce that two of our authors, Rodney E. Rohde and Amber Mitchell, have collaborated on a series of FOCUS articles for the Clinical Laboratory Science Journal that will be of…
Demonstration Data. Image Courtesy of Public Health Ontario Abstract: The investigation of tuberculosis (TB) transmission and control is significantly enhanced in Ontario, Canada through the use of an innovative, web-based surveillance program that…
This paper argues that there is a poor fit between the use of precise methods of case definition and case ascertainment for reporting infection rates, and the measurement uncertainty inherent in hospital infection surveillance. …
Background: More people in the US now die from Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections than from HIV/AIDS. Often acquired in healthcare facilities or during healthcare procedures, the extremely high incidence of MRSA infections and…
Infectious diseases are not a new phenomena. Bacteria have evolved over millions of years and have adapted to life with humans. Understanding the history of bacteria, and monitoring how they have evolved have proved…
Bacteria can be found everywhere, including in the human body where it plays an important role in our health. Your bacterial ecosystem is referred to as your microbiota and helps protect you from infections.…
We are surrounded by tiny organisms all around us. To scientists, they are microorganisms, but the general public usually identifies them as “bugs.” To get a better idea of what they are capable of,…
