During the COVID-19 pandemic, increased antibiotic prescribing and infection prevention challenges coincided with antibiotic resistant (AR) infection increases. Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

This study aimed to identify risk factors for remote infection (RI) within 30 days after colorectal surgery.

The alarming growth of antimicrobial resistance organisms (AMRs) and the threat caused by health care–associated infections require hospitalized individuals who are infected or colonized with AMRs to be cared for in isolation, predominantly in single

Standard precautions may prevent patient health care associated infections and provider occupational exposures but are not often used by health care workers. A positive patient safety climate might contribute to improved adherence. The aim of this

Health care organizations accredited by the Joint Commission should follow a standardized approach to the development of infection prevention and control-related processes, policies, and protocols. This approach should start with applicable

Visitors with active tuberculosis (TB) can lead to uncontrolled introductions in healthcare settings, even in facilities with robust TB control programs. We report a pediatric case of TB meningitis who had an adult visitor with active pulmonary TB
