Over the past decade, infections linked to duodenoscopes have become a significant concern, primarily due to the intricate design of the elevator mechanism. Currently, there is limited evidence regarding the bacterial contamination level of the

Candida auris is a multi-drug resistant fungus that has led to healthcare-associated outbreaks globally. Contact investigations (CI) for new cases of Candida auris are a recommended infection prevention practice; however, there is limited knowledge

Current models for predicting Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) recurrence rates have a limited capacity to account for important risk factors. This study developed a clinical prediction rule for CDI recurrence.

Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) increased nationally during the COVID-19 pandemic. We described CLABSIs at our institution during 2019–2022.

Antimicrobial exposure leads to an increased risk of colonization and spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Studies have also implicated exposure to nonantimicrobial medications as a potential risk factor for an increased risk of colonization

An increase in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) has been reported during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic; however, few studies have documented causative pathogens, particularly Candida species associated with candidemia.

Non-manual room disinfection systems may reduce the transmission of infections. A variety of systems have emerged; however, a paucity of evidence exists to make an evidence-informed decision for implementation of a specific system. Alberta Health
