Journal ArticleDOI

Karthikeyan Kumarasamy,Mark Toleman,Timothy R. Walsh,Jay Bagaria,Fafhana Butt,Ravikumar Balakrishnan,Uma Chaudhary,Michel Doumith,Christian G. Giske,Seema Irfan,Padma Krishnan,Anil Kumar,Sunil Maharjan,Shazad Mushtaq,Tabassum Noorie,David L. Paterson,A. Pearson,Claire Perry,Rachel Pike,Bhargavi Rao,Ujjwayini Ray,Jayanta B. Sarma,Madhu Sharma,Elizabeth Sheridan,M A Thirunarayan,Jane F. Turton,Supriya Upadhyay,Marina Warner,William Welfare,David M. Livermore,Neil Woodford +30 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of NDM-1, in multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in India, Pakistan, and the UK is investigated, and co-ordinated international surveillance is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community and hospital spread of Escherichia coli producing CTX-M extended-spectrum β-lactamases in the UK
Neil Woodford,M. E. Ward,Mary E. Kaufmann,Jane F. Turton,Elizabeth J. Fagan,Dorothy James,Alan P. Johnson,Rachel Pike,Marina Warner,Tom Cheasty,A. Pearson,S. Harry,J. B. Leach,Anne Loughrey,J. A. Lowes,R. E. Warren,David M. Livermore +16 more
TL;DR: Because of the public health implications, including for the treatment of community-acquired urinary tract infections, the spread of these strains--and CTX-M-15 beta-lactamase in particular--merits close monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infection of the surgical site after arthroplasty of the hip.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the incidence of surgical-site infection after total hip replacement (THR) and hemiarthroplasty and its strength of association with major risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature-driven Campylobacter seasonality in England and Wales.
Valérie R. Louis,Iain A. Gillespie,Sarah J. O'Brien,Estelle Russek-Cohen,A. Pearson,Rita R. Colwell,Rita R. Colwell +6 more
TL;DR: The seasonal pattern of campylobacter infections indicated a linkage with environmental factors rather than food sources, and public health interventions should not be restricted to food-borne approaches, and the epidemiology of the seasonal peak in human campyloblacter infections may best be understood through studies in young children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mandatory surveillance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteraemia in England: the first 10 years
Alan P. Johnson,John Davies,Rebecca Guy,Julia Abernethy,Elizabeth Sheridan,A. Pearson,Georgia Duckworth +6 more
TL;DR: The enhanced mandatory surveillance scheme in England has captured a wealth of data that have helped to further define the epidemiology of MRSA bacteraemia and it is to be hoped that based on the English experience of mandatory surveillance, other countries will consider the implementation of similar schemes.
