Background Emergence of more transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variants requires more efficient
control measures to limit nosocomial transmission and maintain healthcare capacities …

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a difficult-to-treat infection. Increasing
efforts have been taken to mitigate the epidemics and to avoid potential outbreaks in low …

The human microbiome can protect against colonization with pathogenic antibiotic-resistant
bacteria (ARB), but its impacts on the spread of antibiotic resistance are poorly understood …

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a continued threat to human health in
both community and healthcare settings. In hospitals, control efforts would benefit from …

In this paper both deterministic and stochastic models are developed to explore the roles
that antibiotic exposure and environmental contamination play in the spread of antibiotic …

Background Quantitative tools are needed to relate infection control interventions to infection
risk reductions. Methods A model for predicting virus concentrations on hands was used to …

Abstract Background Antibiotic-resistant Enterobacterales (ARE) are a public health threat
worldwide. Dissemination of these opportunistic pathogens has been largely studied in …

Over the last years, a number of stochastic models have been proposed for analysing the
spread of nosocomial infections in hospital settings. These models often account for a …

Efficient prevention and control of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) is still an open
problem. Using contact data from wearable sensors at a short-stay geriatric ward, we …

Background Hospital infection control requires timely detection and identification of
organisms, and their antimicrobial susceptibility. We describe a hybrid modeling approach to …
