Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs) C.Diff: Tracking Transmission


Until recently, C. diff transmission has not received significant scientific attention. Consequently, the existing data is often inconclusive, contradictory, or downright questionable. In this webinar, the existing data re- garding C. diff transmission is explained, including transmission rates and possible methods for prevention.


Presenter: Erik Dubberke, MD


MRSA in Long-Term Care This program discusses the very basic microbiology of MRSA, as well as the different methods for detect- ing and risk factors for the acquisition of MRSA, and why it is important to take an active approach to MRSA control. The program also addresses the differences in the management of MRSA-infected and colonized individuals, and provides some practical, evidence-based strategies that can help prevent the spread of MRSA in long-term care.


Presenter: Deb Burdsall, RN, MSN, CIC


The Dynamics of Clostridium Difficile This presentation discusses the epidemiology of C. difficile, the characteristics of the toxigenic strains of C. diff, and the role of the laboratory in C. diff identification and diagnosis. Presenters: Lillian Burns, MT, MPH, CIC, and Kathleen Barry, MT, MS, ASCP


Elimination of Clostridium difficile Transmission in Healthcare Settings Preventing transmission of infection is a challenge that continues to impact the safety of patients in all healthcare settings. The unique issues presented by Clostridium difficile require that infection prevention-
