Have you worked in an acute Irish Hospital any time since 2017?
If you have, please be a star take a moment and fill in this survey about CPE and sinks! ๐ฆ ๐ฆ
๐ฅ๐๐๏ธSink Survey still open to #Healthcare workers in ๐ฎ๐ช hospitals. Spotlight on handwashing sinks. Good, bad, indifferent, your observations are welcome and helpful in reducing #AntibioticResistance @saoltagroup @stjamesdublin@CUH_Cork@Dfitzhughes

Can you use cold atmospheric pressure plasma to prevent Hospital Acquired Infections? Find out in this review by @MicroMuireann and colleagues, published #OpenAccess and fee-free in #JMedMicro using a #PublishandRead agreement.

This project was co-supervised by @aoifeky and only possible through loads of help from @Dfitzhughes@FfitzP as well as many more hospital staff. Thanks everyone!
One of the most important (& least appreciated) roles in preventing HAIs is routine hospital cleaning. Here's our masters student Sara presenting her poster looking at cleaning and bacterial contamination in ICUs at @iscm_micro

Prof Fidelma Fitzpatrick, Head of @RCSI_micro, with Dr Catriona Brady from @Tillotts_pharma.
Support from Tillots has facilitated Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) research at RCSI, including a retrospective review of CDI epidemiology over a decade.

What a fantastic tribute to Prof. Ellen Moorhouse. Presidents, CEO's, Deans, Professors, Doctors, scientists, friends and family all turned out to rename our clinical microbiology laboratory in her honour. @FfitzP@Dfitzhughes@MicroMuireann@RCSI_Irl
Great talk earlier by Prof Karen Vickery from @macquarie_uni at #ECCMID22 about biofilms in the hospital environment. Our group @RCSI_Micro recently published a paper looking at a novel decontamination technology to combat these! Read it here https://t.co/87lE7u2hYS
This months research seminar presented by @MicroMuireann@RCSI_Research
The 'Wild-West' of atmospheric plasma and what she did in her #PhD to better understand its potential for hospital decontamination. Shortly available in print #infectioncontrol
@KGMcGuigan @RCSIPharmBioMol@RCSI_Irl@Dfitzhughes@RCSI_Micro 2nd Year Pharmacy students learning all about diagnostic lab techniques to identify antimicrobial resistance.
Pretty much - super-bugs and how to find them!
A clean lab before the mayhem of teaching labs! Blown away by the enthusiasm of our students and such a pleasure to pass on some skills to them. @RCSIPharmBioMol@RCSI_Irl@Dfitzhughes@RCSI_Micro
