The role of nasal carriage in Staphylococcus aureus infections.
Heiman F. L. Wertheim,Damian C. Melles,Margreet C. Vos,Willem B. van Leeuwen,Alex van Belkum,Henri A. Verbrugh,Jan L. Nouwen +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the current knowledge of the determinants (both human and bacterial) and risks of S aureus nasal carriage, and summarise the population dynamics of SA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preventing Surgical-Site Infections in Nasal Carriers of Staphylococcus aureus
Diana Bogaers,R. Roosendaal,Annet Troelstra,Andreas Voss,Ingeborg van der Tweel,Alex van Belkum,Henri A. Verbrugh,Margreet C. Vos +7 more
TL;DR: The number of surgical-site S. aureus infections acquired in the hospital can be reduced by rapid screening and decolonizing of nasal carriers of S.aureus on admission, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic Review of Studies on Compliance with Hand Hygiene Guidelines in Hospital Care
Vicki Erasmus,Thea J. Daha,Hans Brug,Jan Hendrik Richardus,Myra D. Behrendt,Margreet C. Vos,Ed F. van Beeck +6 more
TL;DR: Noncompliance with hand hygiene guidelines is a universal problem, which calls for standardized measures for research and monitoring andoretical models from the behavioral sciences should be used internationally and should be adapted to better explain the complexities of hand hygiene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk and outcome of nosocomial Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia in nasal carriers versus non-carriers.
Heiman F. L. Wertheim,Margreet C. Vos,Alewijn Ott,Alex van Belkum,Andreas Voss,Jan Kluytmans,Peter H. J. van Keulen,Christina M. J. E. Vandenbroucke-Grauls,M. H. M. Meester,Henri A. Verbrugh +9 more
TL;DR: S a Aureus nasal carriers and non-carriers differ significantly in risk and outcome of nosocomial S aureus bacteraemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial load in relation to vacuum-assisted closure wound therapy: a prospective randomized trial.
TL;DR: A positive effect of vacuum‐assisted closure therapy on wound healing is shown, expressed as a significant reduction of wound surface area, however, this could not be explained by a significant quantitative reduction of the bacterial load.
