Journal ArticleDOI
Confronting models with data
TL;DR: A powerful new set of tools are described that promise to provide better answers to questions that would have been impossible to answer using previous analytical techniques, making far greater use of the information content of highly detailed hospital infection datasets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decontamination Strategies and Bloodstream Infections With Antibiotic-Resistant Microorganisms in Ventilated Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Bastiaan H J Wittekamp,Nienke L. Plantinga,Ben S. Cooper,Joaquín López-Contreras,Pere Coll,Jordi Mancebo,Matt P. Wise,Matt Morgan,Pieter Depuydt,Jerina Boelens,T.

M. Sperning,Patrizia Coppadoro,Giuseppe Nardi,C. Brun-Buisson,Marc J. M. Bonten +32 more
TL;DR: Among patients receiving mechanical ventilation in ICUs with moderate to high antibiotic resistance prevalence, use of CHX mouthwash, SOD, or SDD was not associated with reductions in ICU-acquired bloodstream infections caused by MDRGNB compared with standard care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linezolid versus teicoplanin in the treatment of Gram-positive infections in the critically ill: a randomized, double-blind, multicentre study
JA Cepeda,Tony Whitehouse,Ben S. Cooper,J Hails,Karen Jones,F Kwaku,L Taylor,Samantha Hayman,Steven W. Shaw,Christopher C. Kibbler,Rob Shulman,Mervyn Singer,A Peter R Wilson +12 more
TL;DR: Linezolid has similar safety and efficacy to teicoplanin in treating Gram-positive infections in the critically ill and initial clearance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA colonization suggests better skin and mucosal penetration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome sequencing defines phylogeny and spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a high transmission setting
Steven Y. C. Tong,Matthew T. G. Holden,Emma K. Nickerson,Ben S. Cooper,Claudio U. Köser,Claudio U. Köser,Anne Cori,Thibaut Jombart,Simon Cauchemez,Christophe Fraser,Vanaporn Wuthiekanun,Janjira Thaipadungpanit,Maliwan Hongsuwan,Nicholas P. J. Day,Direk Limmathurotsakul,Julian Parkhill,Sharon J. Peacock +16 more
TL;DR: One patient on each unit was the source of numerous transmission events, and deep sampling of one of these cases demonstrated colonization with a "cloud" of related MRSA variants, providing novel insights into the transmission of MRSA in under-resourced healthcare settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of enhanced cleaning within the intensive care unit on contamination of the near-patient environment with hospital pathogens: a randomized crossover study in critical care units in two hospitals.

TL;DR: Enhanced cleaning reduced environmental contamination and hand carriage, but no significant effect was observed on patient acquisition of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
