Sailing Close to the Breeze: Hospital Epidemiology in the COVID-19 Pandemic
NIH COVID-19 SIG Lecture Series
Dr. Palmore will discuss infection control related to COVID-19. Dr. Palmore began her career at the NIH as a staff clinician in the NIAID Laboratory of Clinical Infectious Diseases. She became deputy hospital epidemiologist in the NIH Clinical Center in 2007 and became hospital epidemiologist in 2014. As hospital epidemiologist, Dr. Palmore aims to optimize patient safety through prevention of hospital-acquired infections. Her research interests include modes of nosocomial transmission of multidrug-resistant bacteria, Clostridium difficile and antimicrobial stewardship.Air date: 5/20/2020 3:...

Microbiota-mediated defense against antibiotic-resistant infections
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria generally begin with colonization of mucosal surfaces, in particular the intestinal epithelium. The intestinal microbiota provides resistance to infection with highly antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), Klebsiella pneumoniae and Clostridium difficile, the major cause of hospitalization-associated diarrhea. Metagenomic sequencing of the murine and human microbiota following treatment with different antibiotics is beginning to identify bacterial taxa that are associated wi...
