Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation measures in the hospital management of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): systematic review of the literature.
Ben S. Cooper,S.P. Stone,C. C. Kibbler,Barry Cookson,Jennifer A. Roberts,Graham F. Medley,Georgia Duckworth,R. Lai,Shah Ebrahim +8 more
TL;DR: There is evidence that concerted efforts that include isolation can reduce MRSA even in endemic settings, and current isolation measures recommended in national guidelines should continue to be applied until further research establishes otherwise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in hospitals and the community: Stealth dynamics and control catastrophes
Ben S. Cooper,Graham F. Medley,S.P. Stone,C. C. Kibbler,Barry Cookson,Jennifer A. Roberts,Georgia Duckworth,R. Lai,Shah Ebrahim +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that even control measures able to repeatedly prevent sustained outbreaks in the short-term can result in long-term control failure resulting from gradual increases in the community reservoir.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paul K. Wallace,Julie Barber,W Clayton,R Currell,K Fleming,P Garner,Andy Haines,Robert W. Harrison,P Jacklin,C Jarrett,R Jayasuriya,Leo Lewis,Stuart G Parker,Jennifer A. Roberts,Simon G. Thompson,Paul Wainwright +15 more
TL;DR: Virtual outreach consultations result in significantly higher levels of patient satisfaction than standard outpatient appointments and lead to substantial reductions in numbers of tests and investigations, but they are variably associated with increased rates of offer of follow-up according to speciality and site.
