Abstract:
Transmissions based precautions are measures implemented in various clinical health care settings as a means to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases and decrease instances of healthcare acquired infections (HAI). HAI’s result in increased cost to hospitals, longer hospitalization for patients, increased patient suffering, and fatal patient outcomes. While staff member adherence to transmissions based precautions are mandated through various organizations and hospital policies, a review of literature indicates little research has been conducted regarding visitor compliance with transmission-based precautions. The potential implications in healthcare from visitor non-adherence acquired infections are unknown; revealing a gap in literature and supporting the need for further research to describe the phenomenon. Through utilization of a descriptive online survey instrument, the purpose of this descriptive study is to gain insight into why nurses believe visitors may or may not be compliant with transmission-based precautions. To collect the data, an online descriptive survey instrument was developed and distributed via email to all graduate students’ enrolled East Tennessee State University’s College of Nursing. Only ten participants met the eligibility requirements to participate in this study. Data was analyzed though a predictive analytics software and grouping responses into themes. Responses suggest that nurses feel visitors are not complying with transmission-based precautions because of a lack in education, not perceiving the infection as a threat, prior exposure to loved one at home, and inconvenience.

Full text
Abstract:
A rainbow trout (Slamo gairdneri Richardson) population of IPN virus carriers was studied over a one-year period using both homogenisatian and co-cultivation for virus isolation. The percentage of virus-yielding fish was high between March and June but then declined. This was diametrically opposite to the trend in the serum antibody levels indicating that the marked humoral immune response resulted in a very significant reduction in the virus titres. The highest isolation rate was obtained from the kidneys after co-cultivation (from seventeen of the twenty-three virus-positive fish) underlining the very high sensitivity of this recently developed method for virus detection. Twelve of the twenty-three virus-positive fish yielded virus from the pyloric caeca after homogenisation. Virus was occasionally isolated from the faeces indicating that this may well be a possible avenue for horizontal transmission of the virus. No virus was ever detected in gonadal tissue. The virulence of the rainbow trout virus was enhanced in various ways and used to infect tilapia Oreochromis spilurus Gunther of different ages through a variety of routes. Fry infected by direct immersion, orally and by force feeding showed little or no signs of infection. Intraperitoneally and intramuscularly injected fingerling and adult fish developed marked haemorrhaging, severe loss of skin mucus and up to 50% mortalities were recorded. Gross pathology included enlarged and liquifying liver, gastroenteritis and mild brain haemorrhaging. Histopathologically there was extensive cellular vacuolation and degeneration as well as marked leucocytic infiltration in the liver, intestine and swimbladder. Eosinophilic granule cell infiltration of the intestinal wall was also very prominent. Virus was recovered from several organs and determination of virus titres revealed that active viral replication had occurred in the tilapia tissues, a finding further supported by electron microscopical evidence. The fish showed a clear humoral antibody response.

Abstract:
En réanimation,le taux de patients présentant une infection nosocomiale atteint les 15%.Parmi les méthodes de prévention, la lutte contre le portage de germes au niveau cutané et la prévention de la transmission croisée par le lavage des mains du personnel sont des méthodes efficaces.La désinfection de la peau à la Chlorhexidine est une stratégie d’intérêt croissant pour les patients en réanimation.Cette stratégie nécessite encore des essais explorant la sécurité,le rapport coût-efficacité et l'impact de l'utilisation systématique de lingettes.La compliance à l’hygiène des mains (HH) reste une limite à la prévention des infections.Nous avons réalisé une étude pédagogique par simulation et l'utilisation des cabinets UV améliore la technique et la conformité aux opportunités en HH.Concernant la prévention des infections pulmonaires, la colonisation bactérienne trachéobronchique précède souvent l’apparition de la pneumopathie acquises sous ventilation mécanique (PAV),et il a été postulé que les microbes présents dans les sécrétions trachéales quelques jours avant la PAV pourraient être identiques à ceux retrouvés dans les voies respiratoires inférieures.La réalisation d’aspirations trachéales (ETA) régulières serait une méthode préventive.Nous avons réalisé une mise au point des études publiées pour déterminer les forces et les faiblesses de la gestion des antibiotiques sur la base des cultures de surveillance ETA dans la PAV.Ainsi,l’ETA pourrait être systématiquement réalisée pour prédire de manière fiable les micro-organismes de la PVA.Cependant, nous ne pouvons recommander le recours généralisé à la surveillance de routine de la flore trachéobronchique
In intensive care, the rate of patients with a nosocomial infection reaches 15%.Prevention is a central element in reducing their incidence. Among the methods of prevention, the fight against the carriage of germs at the cutaneous level and the prevention of cross-transmission by the washing of the hands of the personnel are effective methods.Disinfection of the skin with Chlorhexidine is one of the strategie of increasing interest for patients in intensive care.This strategy still requires trials exploring safety, cost-effectiveness and the impact of routine use of wipes.Compliance with hand hygien(HH)remains a limit to infection prevention.We carried out an educational study by simulation in HH and the use of UV cabinets improves technique and compliance with HH opportunities.Concerning the prevention of pulmonary infections, the tracheobronchial bacterial colonization often precedes the occurrence of VAP,and it has been postulated that the microbes present in the tracheal secretions a few days before VAP might be the same as those retrieved in the lower respiratory tract.The realization of regular tracheal aspirations(ETA)would be a preventive method.We have realized this review in the aim to provide an updated overview of the literature available in the field and to attempt to determine the strengths and weaknesses of antibiotic stewardship based on ETA surveillance cultures in VAP.ETA could be routinely performed to reliably predict the microorganisms of VAP.However we can't recommandthe widespread use of routine surveillance of tracheobronchial flora

Abstract:
Chiropractic training involves many hours of skin contact, and chiropractors have manual contact with millions of patients annually, but chiropractic has only had professional clinical hygiene guidance since 2010. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the most common cause of cultured skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI) in the United States. Using the epidemiologic triad of person, place, and time as a framework, this quantitative, cross-sectional study obtained the first assessment of MRSA SSTI incidence among chiropractic students and its association with infection control behaviors (hand and table hygiene, sharing gowns, and sharing lotion) and initiation of patient care. The study obtained surveys from 312 students attending half (9/18) of U.S. chiropractic campuses. Associations were assessed by Ï?2 and Fisher's exact test. Stratum specific effects were assessed. Two logistic regression models were produced. The results were that attendance at Campus 6 was associated with postmatriculation MRSA SSTI in univariate analysis, p = 0.010. There was an interaction between campus attended, sharing lotion, and postmatriculation MRSA SSTI, with the Mantel-Haenszel pooled estimate varying significantly from unity, Ï?2 (1) = 6.75, p = 0.009. No other association between any assessed factor and MRSA SSTI was detected. Logistic regression models were significant (p < 0.05), but the composing variables were not. For social change, chiropractic colleges should instruct students and chiropractic associations could encourage members not to share massage lotions and emollients during the practice of manual therapy to help prevent MRSA SSTI.

Abstract:
This study investigated hospital-acquired infection (HAI) across Australian public hospitals from January 2005 - December 2011. Specifically, outbreaks of HAI and infection control interventions (aimed at reducing HAI rates) were investigated. Outbreaks of HAI, with the most frequent pathogens being Norovirus and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, occurred in the majority of hospitals. Further, a wide variety of infection control interventions were applied during the time-frame yet there was no standardised implementation approach. Rates of HAI appeared to be affected by the implementation of particular infection control interventions, either by reducing or increasing mean infection rates.

Abstract:
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is one of the most economically significant viral diseases facing the global swine industry. Viraemia profiles of PRRS virus challenged pigs reflect the severity and progression of infection within the host and provide crucial information for subsequent control measures. In this thesis we analyse the largest longitudinal PRRS viraemia dataset from an in-vivo experiment, and corresponding immune measures in the form of cytokine data and neutralising antibodies. In the PRRS Host Genetic Consortium (PHGC) trials, pigs were challenged with one of two PRRSV isolates (NVSL and KS06, respectively). In Chapter 2 we derive a statistical description of the temporal changes in viraemia and determine the influence of diverse factors (e.g. PRRSV strain, pig genetic background, resistance genotype, etc.) on viraemia profiles. The well-established methodology of linear mixed modelling with a repeated measures model and fitting a linearized Wood’s function, a gamma-type function, is applied to the viraemia dataset. The virus isolate had a significant impact on the viraemia profiles which was captured by statistically significant differences in model parameters via both statistical methods. The more virulent NVSL isolate had higher early viraemia predictions and a faster rate of decline than KS06. In line with previous studies the WUR “resistance” genotype, associated with lower AUC viraemia found in previous studies, also resulted in lower viraemia predictions in the statistical models. The typical time trends of the viraemia profiles were a rise to a peak followed by a period of decline with dynamics and magnitude influenced by the virus isolate. Both uni and bimodal viraemia profiles were observed. The Wood’s model appeared a suitable candidate model for the data associated with uni-modal profiles and captured the time trends concisely in only three model parameters which also had a biological relevance. Overall the best fitting Wood’s model (y=atbe-ct) was when there was a random effect in Wood’s parameters b and c. Bimodal profiles significantly reduced the model fit, particularly in the later phase of infection resulting in large model residuals. However bimodal profiles did not impact upon the significance of the differences between the LSM repeated measures estimates nor the LSM linearized Wood’s model parameter estimates. The longitudinal viraemia measures from the PRRSV challenge experiment revealed substantial differences in the viraemia profiles between hosts infected with the same PRRSV challenge dose, pointing to considerable variation in the host response to PRRSV infections. In Chapter 3 we provide a suitable mathematical description of all viraemia profiles with biologically meaningful parameters for quantitative analysis of profile characteristics. The Wood’s function and a biphasic extended Wood’s function were fit to the individual profiles using Bayesian inference with a likelihood framework in Chapter 3. Using maximum likelihood inference and numerous fit criteria, we established that the broad spectrum of viraemia trends could be adequately represented by either uni-or biphasic Wood’s functions. Three viraemic categories emerged: cleared (uni-modal and below detection within 42 days post infection(dpi)), persistent (transient experimental persistence over 42 dpi) and rebound (biphasic within 42 dpi). The convenient biological interpretation of the model parameters estimates, allowed us not only to quantify inter-host variation, but also to establish common viraemia curve characteristics and their predictability. The convenient biological interpretation of the model parameters estimates, allowed us not only to quantify inter-host variation, but also to establish common viraemia curve characteristics and their predictability, which were utilized in subsequent quantitative genetic analyses to identify genomic regions associated with these new resistance traits. The Bayesian approach for curve fitting in Chapter 3 led to better model fits than the classical linear mixed models approach of Chapter 2. Furthermore in Chapter 4 we explored the association between the observed PRRS viraemia profile characteristics and the corresponding measures of the immune response in the form of: neutralising antibody (nAb) cross protection data and longitudinal cytokine profiles. Statistical analysis of the profile characteristics revealed that persistent profiles were distinguishable already within the first 21 dpi, whereas it is not possible to predict the onset of viraemia rebound. Analysis of the neutralizing antibody (nAb) data indicated that there was a ubiquitous strong response to the homologous PRRSV challenge, but high variability in the range of cross-protection of the nAbs. Persistent pigs were found to have a significantly higher nAb cross-protectivity than pigs that either cleared viraemia or experienced rebound within 42 dpi. We determined the typical features and time trends of each cytokine profile, examined the associations between cytokines, and characterised the cytokine response. A stronger association was found in the direction of cytokines driving the ensuing viraemia characteristics as opposed to vice versa. It was found that viraemia class differences were best captured in the anti-viral cytokine IFNA and also the chemokine CCL2, furthermore these key cytokines were the most strongly associated with viraemia measures. The breadth of the cytokine responsiveness was associated with viral profile class and genetic background but not the WUR genotype. The statistical categorization of pigs from each PHGC trial through model fitting provides a critical basis for the generation of new desirable host phenotypes, and of potential use in the genetic selection of pigs with favourable infection traits. Our study provides novel insights into the nature and degree of variation of hosts’ responses to infection as well as new informative traits for subsequent genetic and modelling studies.

Abstract:
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection worldwide. The control of its incidence is a major public health challenge. It is one of the major preventable causes of disability and mortality. Genital Chlamydia infection is asymptomatic and thus commonly undiagnosed and untreated. In this study, we use ordinary differential equation models to provide qualitative insights into the within-host dynamics of Chlamydia infections, the associated host immune response, and the in vivo control or treatment of the infection. The thesis examines optimal control treatment strategies for acute and chronic genital chlamydial infections, including an investigation of efficacious anti-Chlamydia vaccination strategies. Qualitative results of the presented models provide frameworks for the design of new and improved treatment strategies for genital chlamydial infections.

Abstract:
Abstract Systematic analyses of infections in critical illness are sparse and mostly restricted to specific infection categories. Thus, a prospective study was carried out in a medical-surgical ICU during 14 months on patients whose ICU stay was longer than 48 h. The prospectively gathered data included detailed patient history, infection survey, severity of illness scores (APACHE II, SOFA), resource use, short-term and long-term outcome and quality of life following hospital discharge. Altogether 335 patients were included, of whom 251 (74.9%) had an infection on admission; 59.3% had a community-acquired infection (CAI) and 40.7% a hospital-acquired infection (HAI), while 84 (25.1%) did not have any infection (NI). APACHE II scores and ICU or hospital mortality rates did not differ between the groups. The median hospital stay was longer in the HAI than in the CAI or NI groups. Eighty (23.9%) of the 335 patients developed an ICU-acquired infection (48 per 1000 patient days): ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in 33.8% of the cases, central catheter-related (CRI) or primary bloodstream infections in 6.3% and urinary tract infections in 1.3%, while the corresponding device-related incidences per 1000 days were 18.8, 2.2 and 0.5, respectively. ICU-acquired infection was an independent risk factor for hospital mortality. It doubled the risk for hospital mortality in patients with an infection on admission and caused a threefold the risk in patients without an infection on admission and an almost fourfold increase in the use of nursing resources. Of the 272 hospital survivors, 83 (30.5%) died after discharge during the median follow-up of 17 weeks. Infection status on admission or during the ICU stay did not affect long-term mortality. ICU-acquired infection did not have an impact on patients' quality of life. The current general level of health compared to the status before ICU admission did not differ between the groups, either. Only 36% of those employed resumed their previous jobs. Three-fourths of patients had an infection on admission, while nearly one fourth acquired an ICU infection. The high VAP rate suggests a need for re-evaluation of preventive measures, whereas the low CRI indicates more successful prevention. ICU-acquired infection was a significant risk factor for hospital mortality, but did not affect patients' long-term survival or quality of life.

Abstract:
Acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) are common infections within the local community, and they result in higher morbidity and health care costs. While risk factors for skin and soft tissue infections have been previously evaluated, risk factors associated with secondary bloodstream infections (BSI) has not been investigated, especially in an intercity patient population with limited health care resources. In this case control investigation, 392 patients consisting of 196 cases (ABSSSI + BSI) and 196 controls (ABSSSI) were investigated to determine risk for BSI. Both sociodemographic and underlying conditions were evaluated. According to bivariate analysis of cases and controls, individuals with ABSSSI + BSI were significantly older (p < 0.001), more often male (p = 0.008), and had a higher percentage of abnormal symptoms, such as elevated temperature, white blood cell count, and acute renal failure on hospital admission (p < 0.001). Individuals with ABSSSI + BSI also had a higher percentage of chronic renal failure (p = 0.002), diabetes (p = 0.005), congestive heart failure (p = 0.012), intravenous drug use (p =0.012), and a history of prior hospitalization (p < 0.001). Several of these factors remained statistically significant by logistic regression analysis, such as male gender aOR of 1.85, 95% CI 1.11-3.66; acute renal failure aOR 2.08, 95% CI 1.18-3.67; intravenous drug use aOR 4.38, 2.22-8.62; and prior hospitalization aOR 2.41, 95% CI 1.24-4.93. This study contributes to positive social change by identifying patient characteristics that are associated with ABSSSI-related BSI, thus providing health care providers the ability to improve patient outcomes in this underserved patient population.

Central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are one of the most fatal types of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) and their economic impact is significant. Although some studies have found no signification reduction in CLABSI rates with chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bathing; good evidence exists to support the use of CHG bathing as an intervention to reduce CLABSIs (Bleasdale et al., 2007; Climo et al., 2009; Climo et al., 2013; Montecalvo et al., 2012). CHG bathing performance may influence the effectiveness of the CHG bathing protocol. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a targeted educational approach involving simulation on the delivery by nursing assistants of a CHG bathing protocol. The study aims were (1) to compare the effectiveness of removal of simulated skin microbes by nursing assistants who receive training for a CHG bathing protocol with simulation training to simulated skin microbe removal by nursing assistants who receive training for a CHG bathing protocol without simulation training and (2) to examine the influence of a demographic factor, years of practice as a nursing assistant on the percentage of simulated microbes present following performance of bathing. Thirty nursing assitant volunteered for this study and were randomized to either the intervention group (training for a 2% CHG cloth bathing protocol with simulation training) or the control group (training for a 2% CHG cloth bathing protocol without simulation training). For aim (1) an independent t-test (inferential tests of group differences) was used to examine if there was any difference between the intervention group and the control group on the percentage of microbes remaining on the mannequin post bathing. For aim (2) a Pearson correlation was computed to assess the relationship between years of practice as a nursing assistant and the percentage of microbes remaining post bathing. Results showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups on demographc factors. For aim (1) the t-test revealed a statistically significant (p < .001) difference between the intervention group and the control group on the percentage of simulated microbes remaining on the mannequin post bathing. For aim (2) there was no correlation between the years of practice as a nursing assistant and the amount of microbes left on the mannequin post bathing (p=.709). This study provided an innovative method of assessing the percentage of simulation microbes remaining on the mannequin and made it possible to quantitatively measure bathing performance. Monitoring the compliance with CHG bathing is an important component when evaluating the effectiveness of a CHG bathing protocol. The findings of this study suggest that simulation training was an added benefit to the nursing assistants who received it, as they performed better than those who did not receive simulation training.

Abstract:
Infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality during the post-operative phase of patients’ recovery. Wound infections are the second most commonly encountered type of nosocomial infection. Because wound infections can be introduced by not applying infection control measures and sterile technique principles in the operating room, the implementation of infection control principles is an imperative. The aim of this study was to explore and describe infection control practices related to the prevention of Surgical site infections in the operating rooms in a public health care sector in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality. The findings were compared with practices, as indicated in an evidence-based guideline. The research design was quantitative, explorative, descriptive, comparative-descriptive and contextual in nature. The research sample consisted of all the professional nurses, in the operating room. The data were collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics was used to present the data in the form of tables and graphs. Based on the analysis of the data, some recommendations were made for the implementation of infection control practices, in order to prevent Surgical site infections in the operating room.
