Journal ArticleDOI
SHEA guideline for preventing nosocomial transmission of multidrug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and enterococcus.

TL;DR: Active surveillance cultures are essential to identify the reservoir for spread of MRSA and VRE infections and make control possible using the CDC's long-recommended contact precautions, demonstrating consistency of evidence, high strength of association, reversibility, dose gradient, and specificity for control with this approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Epidemiology and Control of Acinetobacter baumannii in Health Care Facilities
TL;DR: Acinetobacter baumannii infection, such as bacteremia or pneumonia in patients in the intensive care unit who are undergoing intubation, do not seem to be associated with a higher attributable mortality rate or an increased length of hospital stay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Genomics of Multidrug Resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii
Pierre-Edouard Fournier,David Vallenet,Valérie Barbe,Stéphane Audic,Hiroyuki Ogata,Laurent Poirel,Hervé Richet,Catherine Robert,Sophie Mangenot,Chantal Abergel,Patrice Nordmann,Jean Weissenbach,Didier Raoult,Jean-Michel Claverie +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a comparative genomic approach to identify the complete repertoire of resistance genes exhibited by the multidrug-resistant A. baumannii strain AYE, which is epidemic in France, as well as investigate the mechanisms of their acquisition by comparison with the fully susceptible A. bayannii species SDF, associated with human body lice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity-associated gut microbiota is enriched in Lactobacillus reuteri and depleted in Bifidobacterium animalis and Methanobrevibacter smithii
Matthieu Million,Marie Maraninchi,Mireille Henry,Fabrice Armougom,Hervé Richet,Patrizia Carrieri,Patrizia Carrieri,R Valero,Denis Raccah,Bernard Vialettes,Didier Raoult +10 more
TL;DR: The gut microbiota associated with human obesity is depleted in M. smithii, and gut microbiota composition at the species level is related to body weight and obesity, which might be of relevance for further studies and the management of obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in France: emergence of a single clone that produces Panton-Valentine leukocidin.
Philippe Dufour,Yves Gillet,Michèle Bes,Gerard Lina,François Vandenesch,D. Floret,Jerome Etienne,Hervé Richet +7 more
TL;DR: The combination of the Panton-Valentine leukocidin determinant with the mecA gene appears to have created a superadapted S. aureus strain that is spreading in the community.
