Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to Influenza Virus Aerosols During Routine Patient Care
TL;DR: HCPs within 1.829 m of patients with influenza could be exposed to infectious doses of influenza virus, primarily in small-particle aerosols, which questions the current paradigm of localized droplet transmission during non-aerosol-generating procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viruses in the Built Environment (VIBE) Meeting Report
Aaron J. Prussin,Jessica A. Belser,Werner E. Bischoff,Scott T. Kelley,Kaisen Lin,William G. Lindsley,Jean Pierre Nshimyimana,Michael Schuit,Zhenyu Wu,Kyle Bibby,Linsey C. Marr +10 more
TL;DR: To overcome the challenge of working with viruses, workshop participants emphasized that improved sampling methods, laboratory techniques, and bioinformatics approaches are needed to advance understanding of viruses in the built environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage in a student community: prevalence, clonal relationships, and risk factors.
TL;DR: Older male volunteers suffering from chronic sinusitis and not taking antibiotics were at higher risk for carrying SA, revealing candidate factors for persistent carriage to be nasal SA colonization rate and male gender.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dispersal of staphylococcus aureus into the air associated with a rhinovirus infection
Stefano Bassetti,Werner E. Bischoff,Mark Walter,Barbara A. Bassetti-Wyss,Lori Mason,Beth A. Reboussin,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Jack M. Gwaltney,Michael A. Pfaller,Robert J. Sherertz +9 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the “cloud” phenomenon among adult nasal carriers of S. aureus found virus-induced dispersal of the bacterium into the air may have an important role in the transmission of S-Aureus and other bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transocular Entry of Seasonal Influenza–Attenuated Virus Aerosols and the Efficacy of N95 Respirators, Surgical Masks, and Eye Protection in Humans
TL;DR: An N95 respirator provided the best guard further enhanced by eye protection and revealed significant differences between group 1 and all other groups except group 3, suggesting the necessity of eye protection.
