Tartari E, Weterings V, Gastmeier P, Rodríguez Baño J, Widmer A, Kluytmans J, Voss A.
PMID: 28507731
Antimicrob Resist Infect Control. 2017 May 12;6:45. doi: 10.1186/s13756-017-0202-3. eCollection 2017.

Despite remarkable developments in the use of surgical techniques, ergonomic advancements in the operating room, and implementation of bundles, surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a substantial burden, associated with increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. National and international recommendations...

[Infection prevention in Dutch hospitals; results say more than process indicators].

Non-spherical Au/Ag nanoparticles can be generated by chemical reduction of silver ions in the presence of preformed gold nanoparticles. The process of particle formation can be controlled by concentrations of ligands and reducing agent. The formation of ellipsoidal, nanorod-...

Attributable mortality of antibiotic resistance in gram-negative infections in the Netherlands: a parallel matched cohort study.

Clinical microbiology and infection : the official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases

Rottier WC, Deelen JWT, Caruana G, Buiting AGM, Dorigo-Zetsma JW, Kluytmans JAJW, van der Linden PD, Thijsen SFT, Vlaminckx BJM, Weersink AJL, Ammerlaan HSM, Bonten MJM.

OBJECTIVES: Antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria has been associated with increased mortality. This was demonstrated mostly for third-generation cephalosporin-resistant (3GC-R) Enterobacterales bacteraemia in international studies. Yet, the burden of resistance specifically in the Netherlands and created by all types...
