The impact of the 2014 outbreak of the Ebola virus disease (EVD) in West Africa was felt in the United States when patients were transferred for treatment. Following the first Ebola death in the U.S. and given the high risk factors associated with the disease, infection control and prevention measures were stepped up in hospitals around the country.

Control of pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in burned patients

Author(s): McManus, A.T., Mason, A.D.J., McManus, W.F., Pruitt, B.A.J.
Invasive burn wound sepsis with Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major concern in burn patient care settings. It is difficult to treat and may cause high mortality among patients with extensive burn wounds. Therefore, one primary goal of burn care is to prevent colonization and infection of P. aeruginosa. Patient colonization refers to the isolation of the targeted pathogen (organism) from the patient (e.g., sputum, wound surface, urine, and stool).
