Proof of concept study on early forecasting of antimicrobial resistance in hospitalized patients using machine learning and simple bacterial ecology data.

Antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens is a major threat to global health, exacerbated by the misuse of antibiotics. In hospital practice, results of bacterial cultures and antibiograms can take several days. Meanwhile, prescribing an empirical antimicrobial treatment is challenging, as clinicians must balance the antibiotic spectrum against the expected probability of susceptibility.

The French General Population's Perception of New Information and Communication Technologies for Medical Consultations: National Survey.

Background: The development of telehealth and telemedicine, in the form of increased teleconsultation and medical telemonitoring, accelerated during the COVID-19 health crisis in France to ensure continued access to care for the population. Since these new information and communication technologies (ICTs) are diverse and likely to transform how the health care system is organized, there is a need better to understand public attitudes toward them and their relationship with peoples' current experience of health care.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the French general population's perception of the usefulness of video recording/broadcasting (VRB) and mobile Health (mHealth) apps for medical consultations in France during the COVID-19 health crisis and the factors associated with this perception.

A Repertoire of Clinical Non-Dermatophytes Moulds.

Humans are constantly exposed to micromycetes, especially filamentous fungi that are ubiquitous in the environment. In the presence of risk factors, mostly related to an alteration of immunity, the non-dermatophyte fungi can then become opportunistic pathogens, causing superficial, deep or disseminated infections. With new molecular tools applied to medical mycology and revisions in taxonomy, the number of fungi described in humans is rising.

Analysis of the Regulatory, Legal, and Medical Conditions for the Prescription of Mobile Health Applications in the United States, The European Union, and France.

Introduction: Mobile health (mHealth) is now considered an important approach to extend traditional health services and to meet the growing medical needs. The prescribability of mHealth applications is a complex problem because it depends on a large number of factors and concerns a wide range of disciplines and actors in the industrial, health, normative, and regulatory domains.

Objective: Our study correlated data from the scientific literature with data on regulatory developments in the United States, the European Union, and France with the aim of identifying the conditions for the prescription of mHealth applications.

Internet of Things to Explore Moment 2 of "WHO My Five Moments" for Hand Hygiene.

Electronic hand hygiene surveillance systems are developing and considered to be more reliable than direct observation for hand hygiene monitoring. However, none have the capability to assess compliance in complex nursing care. We combined two different technologies, a hand hygiene monitoring system (radiofrequency identification, RFID) and a nursing care recorder at the bedside, and we merge their data to assess hand hygiene performance during nursing.

ApiAppS: A Project to Study and Help Practitioners in Recommending mHealth Apps and Devices to Their Patients.

The ApiAppS ongoing project aims to provide physicians with a decision support system for the prescription / recommendation of mHealth technologies. We describe the context and the components of the project which includes: 1) a technical part on modelling and implementing the decision support system, and 2) a psychosocial investigation part designed to have a better knowledge of general practitioners (GPs) and patients' expectations, beliefs and practices.

Repertoire of human breast and milk microbiota: a systematic review.

Breastfeeding is a major determinant of human health. Breast milk is not sterile and ecological large-scale sequencing methods have revealed an unsuspected microbial diversity that plays an important role. However, microbiological analysis at the species level has been neglected while it is a prerequisite before understanding which microbe is associated with symbiosis or dysbiosis, and health or disease.

Repertoire of bacterial species cultured from the human oral cavity and respiratory tract.

While the gut microbiota is currently in the spotlight, the airway microbiome has been recently associated with several pulmonary diseases and carcinogenesis. As there are several biases associated with high-throughput sequencing methods, cultivation techniques are crucial for the investigation of the human microbiome. We thus aimed to build an exhaustive database, including a list of microbes isolated by culture from respiratory specimens, by performing a review of the literature.

Human Bacterial Repertoire of the Urinary Tract: a Potential Paradigm Shift.

The aim of this article is to review the human repertoire of bacteria in urine already described by culture and metagenomic techniques and published in the literature. Our study led us to compare this repertoire with other available human repertoires. We followed automatic and manual bibliographical methods and found 562 bacterial species reported in the literature as part of the human urinary microbiota.

The contribution of culturomics to the repertoire of isolated human bacterial and archaeal species.

After a decade of research and metagenomic analyses, our knowledge of the human microbiota appears to have reached a plateau despite promising results. In many studies, culture has proven to be essential in describing new prokaryotic species and filling metagenomic gaps. In 2015, only 2172 different prokaryotic species were reported to have been isolated at least once from the human body as pathogens or commensals.

Spatio-temporal dynamic of malaria in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, 2011-2015.

Background: Given the scarcity of resources in developing countries, malaria treatment requires new strategies that target specific populations, time periods and geographical areas. While the spatial pattern of malaria transmission is known to vary depending on local conditions, its temporal evolution has yet to be evaluated. The aim of this study was to determine the spatio-temporal dynamic of malaria in the central region of Burkina Faso, taking into account meteorological factors.

New Approaches to Prevent Healthcare-Associated Infection.

Healthcare-associated infection (HCAI) in hospitals mainly results from unsolved but well-identified causes such as hand hygiene, overuse of catheters, and to a lesser extent, the airborne transmission of infectious agents caused by the misuse of respiratory precautions. The aims of the Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire Méditerranée Infection are to develop new approaches to fight HCAIs. Among them, new technologies that allow for the traceability of care and good practices reminders have been developed concomitantly to an anthropological approach, facilitating acceptability by healthcare workers.

How does the cellular phone help in epidemiological surveillance? A review of the scientific literature.

Background: In the field of epidemiological surveillance, no systematic literature review appears to exist of implemented projects using cellular phone technology.

Method: We performed a systematic literature review using the Pubmed and Scopus databases to retrieve articles published up to December 2015. We analyzed information reported in these publications according to the mobile health (mHealth) evidence reporting and assessment (mERA) checklist, and complemented this work with specific items related to epidemiology, in order to clarify the types of results reported and summarized in this context.

Smartphone text message service to foster hand hygiene compliance in health care workers.
