Place of acquisition was classified as community, healthcare-associated, or nosocomial according to Friedman et al. 29. Source of infection was determined guided by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria30. Vascular catheter-associated infection was defined either as BSI and ...
Infection control remains a key challenge for Tuberculosis (TB) control program with an increased risk of TB transmission among health care workers (HCWs), especially in settings with inadequate TB infection control measures. Poor knowledge among HCWs an
a Control plate: S. epidermidis growth on pH indicator agar. b TA applied at insertion site: TA inhibits S. epidermidis growth along the TA edge to the insertion point. c Transparent dressing applied over insertion site: S. epidermidis growth under the dressing, at the cannula insertion point...
Heat-inactivated FCV protease was used as a negative control. (B) The effect of NaCl concentration on protease activity. The baseline NaCl concentration of the reaction mixture before any additional NaCl was 3 mM. (C) Antiviral activity of the protease inhibitor GC376 against FCV. The half ...
This study could inform guidelines for the prevention and control of oral HPV infections and help to identify the factors associated with both infection and clearance; it may explore a new potential test for early detection of individuals at risk of developing oropharyngeal cancer. Therefore, oral ...
