Journal ArticleDOI

Raymund Dantes,Yi Mu,Ruth Belflower,Deborah Aragon,Ghinwa Dumyati,Lee H. Harrison,Fernanda C. Lessa,Ruth Lynfield,Joelle Nadle,Susan Petit,Susan M. Ray,William Schaffner,John M. Townes,Scott K. Fridkin +13 more
TL;DR: An estimated 30,800 fewer invasive MRSA infections occurred in the United States in 2011 compared with 2005; in 2011 fewer infections occurred among patients during hospitalization than among persons in the community without recent health care exposures.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A multiplier method with routine population-based surveillance data on influenza hospitalization in the United States to correct for under-reporting and estimate the burden of influenza for seasons after the 2009 pandemic is used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of Invasive Group A Streptococcal Infections in the United States, 2005-2012.
George E. Nelson,George E. Nelson,Tracy Pondo,Karrie-Ann Toews,Monica M. Farley,Mary Louise Lindegren,Ruth Lynfield,Deborah Aragon,Shelley M. Zansky,James Watt,Paul R Cieslak,Kathy Angeles,Lee H. Harrison,Susan Petit,Bernard Beall,Chris A. Van Beneden +15 more
TL;DR: The burden of invasive GAS infection in the United States remains substantial and vaccines under development could have a considerable public health impact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in Invasive Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections
Martha Iwamoto,Yi Mu,Ruth Lynfield,Sandra N. Bulens,Joelle Nadle,Deborah Aragon,Susan Petit,Susan M. Ray,Lee H. Harrison,Ghinwa Dumyati,John M. Townes,William Schaffner,Rachel J. Gorwitz,Fernanda C. Lessa +13 more
TL;DR: Invasive MRSA infection in children disproportionately affects young infants and black children, and the incidence of CA-MRSA infections has increased, underscoring the need for defining optimal strategies to prevent MRSA infections among children with and without health care exposures.
Journal ArticleDOI
