Guidelines for environmental infection control in health-care facilities. Recommendations of CDC and the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC).
TL;DR: A review of previous guidelines and strategies for preventing environment-associated infections in health-care facilities and offers recommendations can be found in this article, where the authors suggest a series of performance measurements as a means to evaluate infection-control efforts.

Review: Domestic hygiene and diarrhoea -- pinpointing the problem.
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that any behaviours which prevent stools from getting into the domestic arena, the child's main habitat, are likely to have a greater impact on health than those practices which prevent pathogens in the environment from being ingested.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic analysis shows that the current S. sonnei population descends from a common ancestor that existed less than 500 years ago and that diversified into several distinct lineages with unique characteristics, and suggests that the majority of this diversification occurred in Europe and was followed by more recent establishment of local pathogen populations on other continents.

TL;DR: Gastroenteritis caused by enterotoxigenic E. coli and shigella resistant to a number of drugs was a major problem that frequently interfered with the duties of U.S. troops during Operation Desert Shield.

Acute Infectious Diarrhea Among Children in Day Care: Epidemiology and Control
TL;DR: The contamination of hands, communal toys, and other classroom objects as well as a lack of infection control measures play a role in the transmission of enteropathogens in outbreaks of diarrhea in day care centers.
