Objectives: Reduced physical function following hospitalization places older adults at risk of adverse health events. Many older adults receive home health physical therapy to reverse their deconditioning; however, optimal approaches to improve physical function are currently not known. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a home health care approach comprised of high-intensity exercise, enhanced care transition, and protein supplementation.

spp. are one of the leading causes of illness, and in the last years there is an increasing interest in the role of different wild animals as reservoir of , especially multidrug resistant strains. To establish preventive and action strategies, it is essential to monitor bacterial resistance profiles and systematically collect information.

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are important pathogens in hospitalized patients; however, the factors involved in VRE colonization of hospitalized patients are not well characterized. Bacteriocins provide a competitive advantage to enterococci in experimental models of colonization, but little is known about bacteriocin content in samples derived from humans and even less is known about their dynamics in the clinical setting. To identify bacteriocins which may be relevant in the transmission of VRE, we present a systematic analysis of bacteriocin content in the genomes of 2,248 patient-derived isolates collected over a 6-year period from a single hospital system.

We report 2 canine cases of carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa within a United States veterinary hospital associated with a human outbreak linked to over-the-counter artificial tears. We investigated veterinary hospital transmission. Veterinary antimicrobial resistance surveillance and infection prevention and control enhancements are needed to reduce transmission of carbapenemase-producing organisms.
