Evaluation of a surveillance system for Clostridioides difficile infections for Swiss hospitals
CONCLUSION: This study underscores the importance of a joint effort towards standardized surveillance practices in providing comprehensive insights into C. difficile infection epidemiology and effective prevention strategies in Swiss healthcare settings. The patient-related approach remains the gold standard for C. difficile infection surveillance, although it demands substantial resources and provides results only annually. The proposed implementation of nationwide automated laboratory-based surveillance would be pragmatic and efficient, empowering authorities and hospitals to detect outbreaks promptly and to correlate in...

Intestinal Colonization by < em > Campylobacter jejuni < /em > , < em > Clostridium difficile < /em > , and < em > Clostridium perfringens < /em > among Commensal < em > Rattus norvegicus < /em > in the Urban Areas of Tehran, Iran
CONCLUSION: According to the findings, rats are the main reservoirs for diseases. Therefore, rodent control coupled with the implementation of surveillance systems should be prioritized for urban health.PMID:38572169 | PMC:PMC10990632 | DOI:10.1155/2024/2929315 (Source: Biomed Res)

Topical clindamycin for acne vulgaris: analysis of gastrointestinal events
Conclusions: According to pharmacovigilance data, the rate of GI adverse drug reactions with topical clindamycin-containing products was 0.000045% (64/141,084,533). Results from two retrospective medical record studies of patients with AV indicated that physicians prescribe topical clindamycin equally to patients with or without inflammatory bowel disease history, and that rates of pseudomembranous colitis in these patients were low. In 8 published pivotal clinical trials of topical clindamycin for AV, GI AEs were reported in 1.4% of participants. Limitations include under/inaccurate reporting of AEs or prescription data a...
