Early detection and prevention of disease outbreaks are vital to the overall improvement of public health. Together with Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH), as well as support from C.E.C. Innovations, we are spearheading a groundbreaking pilot program that leverages wastewater surveillance to identify opportunities to improve disease detection, hospital operations and ultimately quality of care.

The axiom “if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together” reminds us of the need for global solidarity, not only to reduce disparities but also to present a united front against the global health challenge of antimicrobial resistance. Through collaborative initiatives and a united front, a future of effective antimicrobial therapy can be envisioned for generations to come.

As restrictions and human testing have waned, new research is tackling the challenge of how we can monitor, predict, and prevent #COVID19outbreaks, especially among vulnerable groups like hospitalised patients. In a recent study at two hospitals in Ontario, CUBE researchers swabbed the floors of healthcare worker areas, such as change rooms, meeting rooms and staff washrooms. They?observed a strong association between the amount of SARS-CoV-2 viral matter found on the floor?and the number of COVID-19 outbreaks in the hospital. ?? https://bit.ly/3AdXrFJ #infectioncontrol

Covid has changed, so Covid policies need to change. In my latest for Vox, I wrote about why the CDC is long overdue to revise its isolation policy. The US is not exactly a leader in this space -- the European CDC made a similar change TWO YEARS AGO. That's because isolation policies as a method for reducing hospitalizations and deaths simply ain't it. What works better? Read the story. Thanks to Shira Doron, Jay K. Varma, and Aaron Glatt, MD for sharing their insight. #covid #isolation #publichealth #cdc https://lnkd.in/eCvxcScb

New advice from the CDC clarifies that diagnostic samples and clinical waste containing Mpox virus (MPXV) Clade I or II should be designated as Category B infectious substances except when they contain or are contaminated with cultures of Clade I MPXV.?Previous recommendations for classifying and managing materials containing or contaminated with MPXV have varied based on the virus clade.
