Role of molecular epidemiology in infection control

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America
S WeberL A Herwaldt

Abstract

Molecular typing methods have enabled infection control personnel to investigate outbreaks and endemic nosocomial infections more quickly and thoroughly than they could have with basic epidemiologic and microbiologic methods. This article reviews molecular typing methods that have been used successfully in the practice of hospital epidemiology. Included is an explanation of the basic principles of these methods and a description of their strengths and weaknesses.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
