Journal ArticleDOI
Universal screening for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus at hospital admission and nosocomial infection in surgical patients.
Stéphan Juergen Harbarth,Carolina Fankhauser,Jacques Schrenzel,Jan T. Christenson,Pascal Gervaz,Catherine Bandiera-Clerc,Gesuele Renzi,Nathalie Vernaz,Hugo Sax,Didier Pittet +9 more
TL;DR: A universal, rapid MRSA admission screening strategy did not reduce nosocomial MRSA infection in a surgical department with endemic MRSA prevalence but relatively low rates of MRSA infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of rapid screening and pre-emptive contact isolation for detecting and controlling methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in critical care: an interventional cohort study.
Stéphan Juergen Harbarth,Cristina Masuet-Aumatell,Jacques Schrenzel,Patrice Francois,Christophe Akakpo,Gesuele Renzi,Jérôme Pugin,Bara Ricou,Didier Pittet +8 more
TL;DR: The qMRSA test decreased median time to notification from four days to one day and helped to identify previously unknown MRSA carriers rapidly and substantially reduced MRSA cross-infections in the medical but not in the surgical ICU.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Combined Low-Level Mupirocin and Genotypic Chlorhexidine Resistance on Persistent Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Carriage After Decolonization Therapy: A Case-control Study
Andie S Lee,Andie S Lee,M Macedo-Vinas,Patrice Francois,Gesuele Renzi,Jacques Schrenzel,Nathalie Vernaz,Didier Pittet,Stéphan Juergen Harbarth +8 more
TL;DR: Combined low-level mupirocin and genotypic chlorhexidine resistance significantly increases the risk of persistent MRSA carriage after decolonization therapy and institutions with widespread use of these agents should monitor for resistance and loss of clinical effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contamination of Stethoscopes and Physicians' Hands After a Physical Examination
Yves Longtin,Alexis Schneider,Clément Tschopp,Gesuele Renzi,Angèle Gayet-Ageron,Jacques Schrenzel,Didier Pittet +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the contamination level of the stethoscope is substantial after a single physical examination and comparable to the contamination of parts of the physician's dominant hand.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 5-day course of oral antibiotics followed by faecal transplantation to eradicate carriage of multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae: a randomized clinical trial.

TL;DR: Non-absorbable antibiotics followed by FMT slightly decreased ESBL-E/CPE carriage compared with controls; this difference was not statistically significant, potentially due to early trial termination.
