As part of a central line–associated bloodstream infections prevention initiative, our academic medical center formed a dedicated nursing team to assist with central line insertions and provide support with caring for difficult lines and dressings

Candida auris is a multi-drug resistant fungus that has led to healthcare-associated outbreaks globally. Contact investigations (CI) for new cases of Candida auris are a recommended infection prevention practice; however, there is limited knowledge

Over the past decade, infections linked to duodenoscopes have become a significant concern, primarily due to the intricate design of the elevator mechanism. Currently, there is limited evidence regarding the bacterial contamination level of the

Current models for predicting Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) recurrence rates have a limited capacity to account for important risk factors. This study developed a clinical prediction rule for CDI recurrence.

Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) increased nationally during the COVID-19 pandemic. We described CLABSIs at our institution during 2019–2022.

Antimicrobial exposure leads to an increased risk of colonization and spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Studies have also implicated exposure to nonantimicrobial medications as a potential risk factor for an increased risk of colonization

An increase in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) has been reported during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic; however, few studies have documented causative pathogens, particularly Candida species associated with candidemia.
