COMBINING GENOME SURVEILLANCE AND METADATA TO CHARACTERIZE THE DIVERSITY OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS CIRCULATING IN AN ITALIAN HOSPITAL OVER A 9-YEAR PERIOD

Combining Genome Surveillance and Metadata To Characterize the Diversity of Staphylococcus aureus Circulating in an Italian Hospital over a 9-Year Period

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.Genomic-based surveillance has greatly improved our ability to track the emergence and spread of high-risk clones, but the full potential of genomic data is only reached when used in conjunction with detailed metadata.Here, we demons

Does an Additional Bile Duct Flush With Low-viscosity Preservation Solution Reduce Bile Duct Injury? A Single-blinded Randomized Clinical Trial

Introduction.Biliary complications are a common cause of morbidity after liver transplantation and associated with bile duct injury.To reduce injury, a bile duct flush is performed with high-viscosity preservation solution.It has been suggested that an earlier additional bile duct flush with low-viscosity preservation solution may reduce bile duct
