Shen J, McFarland A, Blaustein R, Rose L, Perry-Dow K, Moghadam A, et al.
Microbiome . 2022 Dec; 10(1):206. PMID: 36457108
Background: Effective surveillance of microbial communities in the healthcare environment is increasingly important in infection prevention. Metagenomics-based techniques are promising due to their untargeted nature but are currently challenged by...

Dawson P, Salzer J, Schrodt C, Feldmann K, Kolton C, Gee J, et al.
Pathogens . 2022 Jul; 11(8). PMID: 35894048
group bacteria containing the anthrax toxin genes can cause fatal anthrax pneumonia in welders. Two welder's anthrax cases identified in 2020 were investigated to determine the source of each patient's...

West R, Shams A, Chan M, Rose L, Noble-Wang J
Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol . 2022 Jun; 44(5):834-836. PMID: 35695177
Flocked and foam swabs were used to sample five healthcare pathogens from three sizes of steel and plastic coupons; 26 cm, 323 cm, and 645 cm. As surface area increased,...

Rose L, Houston H, Martinez-Smith M, Lyons A, Whitworth C, Reddy S, et al.
PLoS One . 2022 Jan; 17(1):e0261588. PMID: 35025906
Results from sampling healthcare surfaces for pathogens are difficult to interpret without understanding the factors that influence pathogen detection. We investigated the recovery of four healthcare-associated pathogens from three common...

Beaudry M, Thomas J, Baptista R, Sullivan A, Norfolk W, Devault A, et al.
Environ Microbiol . 2021 Sep; 23(12):7523-7537. PMID: 34519156
Finding, characterizing and monitoring reservoirs for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is vital to protecting public health. Hybridization capture baits are an accurate, sensitive and cost-effective technique used to enrich and characterize...

Perry-Dow K, de Man T, Halpin A, Shams A, Rose L, Noble-Wang J
Am J Infect Control . 2021 Sep; 50(1):54-60. PMID: 34481923
Background: Healthcare-associated infections are a significant economic burden and cause of avoidable morbidity and mortality within healthcare systems. The contribution of environmental contamination to healthcare-associated infection transmission has been recognized,...

Furin W, Tran L, Chan M, Lyons A, Noble-Wang J, Rose L
Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol . 2021 Jun; 43(10):1492-1494. PMID: 34154680
Sponges and swabs were evaluated for their ability to recover dried 1 hour on steel and plastic surfaces. Culture recovery ranged from <0.1% (sponges) to 8.4% (swabs), and cells detected...

Sexton D, Bentz M, Welsh R, Derado G, Furin W, Rose L, et al.
Clin Infect Dis . 2021 May; 73(7):1142-1148. PMID: 33978150
Background: Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant yeast that contaminates healthcare environments causing healthcare-associated outbreaks. The mechanisms facilitating contamination are not established. Methods: C. auris was quantified in residents' bilateral...

Lyons A, Rose L, Noble-Wang J
Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol . 2021 Mar; 43(3):390-392. PMID: 33650473
Two methods to sample pathogens from gloved hands were compared: direct imprint onto agar and a sponge-wipe method. The sponge method was significantly better at recovering Clostridiodes difficile spores, and...

Tanner W, Leecaster M, Zhang Y, Stratford K, Mayer J, Visnovsky L, et al.
Clin Infect Dis . 2021 Jan; 72(Suppl 1):S8-S16. PMID: 33512527
Background: Environmental contamination is an important source of hospital multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) transmission. Factors such as patient MDRO contact precautions (CP) status, patient proximity to surfaces, and unit type likely...
