() is a Gram-positive bacterium commonly colonizing the skin and mucosa in healthy individuals and hospitalized patients. Traditionally regarded as a contaminant, is now increasingly recognized as a potential cause of clinical infections, especially after the coronavirus disease pandemic. It has emerged as a pathogen implicated in severe infections, including pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis, artificial joint infections, abdominal infections, and endocarditis.

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections worldwide, particularly in developing countries. It also is among the most prevalent nosocomial infections, largely due to the widespread use of urinary catheters in hospitalized patients. These catheters often act as reservoirs for multidrug-resistant bacteria, including extended-spectrum beta-lactamase- and carbapenemase-producing pathogens, which significantly limit treatment options and delay appropriate care.

Background: In 2023, we experienced an outbreak from a case of undiagnosed crusted scabies, resulting in a significant number of exposed individuals and secondary cases. In this report, we describe the outbreak control measures, the attack rate, and the risk factors for acquisition of scabies among healthcare workers (HCWs).
Methods: This study was conducted in a 2,700-bed tertiary care hospital in Seoul, South Korea.

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common adverse event in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). We aimed to determine the effectiveness of a multicomponent non-pharmacological intervention protocol to reduce the incidence of POD in elderly patients admitted to the surgical ICU (SICU). This before-and-after cohort study included 300 patients aged ≥ 65 years who were admitted to the SICU within 7 days postoperatively with an anticipated SICU stay > 24 h.
