Planning is critical to mitigating the sudden and potentially catastrophic impact of an infectious disease pandemic on society, but it is far from straightforward. During a pandemic, decisions will be made under rapidly changing, uncertain conditions, with limited (if any) prior experience. The 1918 H1N1 pandemic was estimated to have caused the death of tens of millions of people worldwide.

Recent efforts by federal investigators to ferret out and prosecute healthcare fraud have shown that certain clinical laboratory companies are guilty of fraud and abuse. And as Dark Daily covered in “Preparing Clinical Laboratories for Invasive Federal Enforcement of Fraud and Abuse Laws, Increased Scrutiny by Private Payers, New Education Audits and More,” Nov. 13, 2019, the Justice Department and other federal and state regulators are becoming more aggressive in their hunt for bad actors.

For the first time since the 1992-93 influenza season, influenza B viruses are the predominant circulating flu virus in the United States. Typically, influenza B viruses circulate near the end of the flu season. In fact, in the previous three flu seasons, B/Victoria viruses accounted for less than 10% of influenza isolates.

Three patients with Candida auris resistant to all three classes of antifungals commonly prescribed for the illness have been identified through active and ongoing surveillance in New York, according to findings published in MMWR. “Candida auris is a globally emerging yeast that causes outbreaks in health care settings and is often resistant to one or more classes of antifungal medications,” Dr. Belinda Ostrowsky, of the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion at the CDC's National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, and colleagues wrote.

Infectious diseases have a substantially growing impact on the health of communities around the world and pressure to both predict and prevent such diseases is ever-growing. LSU Assistant Professor of Biological Science Tad Dallas and colleagues developed a simple approach to accurately predict disease outbreaks by combining novel statistical techniques and a large dataset on pathogen biogeography.

As we work towards making health care safer and establishing a stronger role for infection control in patient care, the role of bioburden and environmental contamination is a common conversation topic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported that each year roughly 2.8 million Americans are infected with antibiotic-resistant infections, which result in 35,000 associated deaths.

New research by a team of scientists in Israel indicates that when bacteria develop tolerance to an antibiotic, adding a second antibiotic to the treatment regimen may not work out as intended. In a paper published in Science, researchers from The Hebrew University and Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem set out to determine whether the development of antibiotic tolerance occurs in people and affects treatment.
