Extended spectrum betalactamase and Carbapenemase producing gram negative bacteria from healthcare workers gowns at Debre Berhan Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia.

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase-producing (CP) gram-negative bacteria are the major public health concerns. Gowns used by healthcare workers (HCWs) in daily practice are a source of hospital-acquired infections in hospital settings. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase and carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacteria from gowns of healthcare workers at Debre Berhan Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia.

This narrative review evaluates the evidence regarding the protection offered by isolation gowns, approaches to imparting antimicrobial activity to gowns, and the environmental impacts of gown use, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a search of the Medline, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases for articles published between January 1, 2019 to February 20, 2024. We found that current standards pertaining to isolation gowns might be irrelevant to the protection of healthcare workers from pathogen transmission, as they focus primarily on fluid barrier resistance values that are not reflective of all transmission conditions in hospitals.

- The study aimed to promote sustainable practices in endoscopy by examining how gowning techniques impact microbial contamination and carbon emissions, assessing the potential for reducing medical waste.* -
- Involving 25 patients, researchers found a 56% contamination rate across isolation gowns, with higher rates among resident endoscopists compared to experts, particularly noting increased bacteria on the left arm of gowns.* -
- The bacteria found were non-pathogenic, suggesting that complete changes of protective gear may not be necessary, supporting the initiative for "green endoscopy" to enhance sustainability in medical practices.*

A covalent organic framework (COF) was gown on porous silica with 1,3,5-tri(4-aminophenyl)benzene and 2,5-divinyl-1,4-phenyldiformaldehyde as monomers, and two ionic liquids were grafted to COF by a click reaction. The materials before and after the modification of ionic liquids were separately packed into solid-phase extraction columns (10 × 4.6 mm, i.
