Comparison of Roka Atlas® System Performance and Health Canada Reference Method for Listeria Detection From Plastic, Sealed Concrete, and Stainless-Steel Surface Samples.

Background: There is a high demand in the food industry and in public health for rapid automated methods capable of high-volume sample processing.

Objective: In an unpaired study, Roka Atlas® System performance was compared with Health Canada reference method MFHPB-30 for Listeria spp. (LSP Roka assay) and Listeria monocytogenes (LmG2 Roka Assay) detection on plastic (PL), sealed concrete (SC), and stainless-steel (SS) surfaces (45 samples each per candidate or reference method).

Factors associated with the non-retention of health sector employees recruited in Iran: a survival analysis.

Background: Health staff are an essential component of the health system and a significant factor in improving health outcomes. As a result, without a suitable number of trained and supported workforces, health-related goals will not be achieved. As a result, one of the most significant tasks of the government and healthcare human resource management in healthcare organizations is focusing on development and maintenance of personnel.

Challenges and solutions of medical residency: the example of Iran.

Background: Medical residency constitutes a highly demanding and taxing phase in the professional journey of physicians. Factors such as low income, excessive workloads, and uncertainty regarding their career trajectory can contribute to diminished job satisfaction among residents. Neglecting this issue can have enduring negative effects on the quality and quantity of healthcare services provided.

Microbiological survey and genomic analysis of strains isolated from US households and retail foods.

Unlabelled: species are opportunistic pathogens that are capable of causing morbidity and mortality, particularly in infants. Although the transmission dynamics involved in infections remain largely unknown, contaminated powdered infant formula (PIF) has been linked to 30% of cases involving invasive illness in infants. As several lines of evidence have implicated the domestic environment in PIF contamination, we undertook a microbiological survey of homes ( = 263) across the US.
