Unnecessary antimicrobial treatment promotes the emergence of resistance. Early confirmation that a blood culture is negative could shorten antibiotic courses. The Cognitor Minus test, performed on blood culture samples after 12 hours incubation has

Splashing from handwash basins may be a source of bacteria in the healthcare environment. A novel splash-reducing basin was assessed for its ability to reduce droplet formation during simulated handwashing. The basin was compared to two conventional

Summary Background Hospital-acquired infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been linked to contaminated shower systems in health care. Thermal disinfection, whereby colonized outlets are flushed with existing hot water supplies, is a common

The horizontal transmission of Clostridium difficile in the hospital environment is difficult to establish. Current methods to detect C. difficile spores on surfaces are not quantitative, lack sensitivity, and are protracted. We propose a novel rapid
