- Infections with antibiotic resistant bacteria, for example an urinary tract infections, are difficult to treat. Because of this, antibiotic resistance is an important public health threat. In Europe, the ESBL-producing gut bacteria (ESBL-G), are the most important cause of such infections, with around 400.000 cases per year. 5% of the Dutch inhabitants carries ESBL-G, while outside the Netherlands…
- Hospital-acquired infections, including Multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (MDR-E), are recognised to be an important public health issue and cause significant burden on health care systems worldwide. While classic infection control strategies mainly target the spread of these pathogens at intra-hospital level (inside a hospital), inter-hospital (between various hospitals and health care…
- Urgent action is required to stem the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, because the pace of novel drug development lags behind the evolution of novel AMR determinants, new strategies of containment are required.MethodIn this multinational project proposal, researchers have worked on a resistance-reversal strategy based on the concept of collateral sensitivity (CS). CS between a…
- Read how is investigated wastewater treatment plant employees and local residents are more likely to carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
- Read how researchers will determine if the use of biocides has a selective effect on antimicrobial resistance.
- There is insufficient knowledge on the impact of school closures during a pandemic. A school closure can have a major impact on students, and therefore influence society and the economy in the longer term. The PRESENT-consortium is therefore mapping the diverse effects of secondary and MBO school closures. This will allow us to better advise and make decisions during future pandemics.
- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is characterised by clonal spread. MRSA clones are unequally distributed across the world and different clones are dominant at different times. AimThe MACOTRA project studied the interaction between MRSA, humans and the environment. The researchers used mathematical models to gain a better understanding of MRSA dynamics.ResultsA main predictor of…
- Read how researchers improved the technology and content of a Serious Game about infectious diseases, and increased its support base and sustainable implementation.
- Read how researchers will use genome sequencing to study the fungal genus Candida in hospitals to limit its transmission.
- Cryptosporidium is a unicellular parasite that can cause intestinal inflammation and diarrhea in humans and animals. New typing methods will be applied to gain insight into the types of Cryptosporidium.
- Zoonoses pose a serious threat to public health, this project focuses on a quantitative risk assessment for transmission of avian influenza viruses.
- The project aims to characterize the between- and within-host dynamics of viruses in bat populations in the Netherlands in relationship to bat-human interactions.
