Al te vaak lopen patiënten een infectie op in het ziekenhuis. Het probleem is inderdaad groot. Bovendien berichten de media hierover geregeld ongenuanceerd en zelfs onjuist. Terwijl de zorgsector zichzelf almaar strengere normen oplegt.Dit boek biedt een antwoord op vele problemen. Het is ontstaan uit zijn jarenlange praktijkervaring in ziekenhuisinfectiebeheersing en de talrijke vragen van gezondheidsinspectie, patiënten en hun familie, gezondheidswerkers, ziekenhuizen, Een tiental specialisten hebben de tekst becommentarieerd.Het eerste deel is toelichting bij belangrijke begrippen, van Ao-waarde tot zwangere vrouwen. Daarna volgt een overzicht van voorzorgsmaatregelen bij infecties. Een derde deel somt de klinische syndromen of symptomen op waarbij best voorzorgsmaatregelen worden genomen tot de diagnose is gesteld.Het boek is bedoeld voor medici en paramedici die te maken hebben met de zorg voor hygiëne in ziekenhuizen, woon- en zorgcentra, bij de thuiszorg, in de eerstelijnsgezondheid,Uit de inhoud:Alfabetische vraagbaak - Alfabetisch overzicht m.b.t. aard en duur van voorzorgsmaatregelen voor geselecteerde infecties en condities - Klinische syndromen of symptomen waarbij empirisch voorzorgsmaatregelen genomen worden tot de diagnose bekend is - Bibliografie en trefwoordenregister. Over de auteur(s):Guido Demaiter studeerde Ziekenhuisverpleegkunde aan de KATHO in Kortrijk en Medisch-sociale wetenschappen en ziekenhuisbeleid, optie beleid en opleiding van de verpleegkunde, aan de KU Leuven. Daarnaast volgde hij de academische initiële lerarenopleiding. Hij is ziekenhuishygiënist in het Kortrijkse fusieziekenhuis AZ Groeninge.

Legionella spp. are ubiquitous microorganisms that are widely distributed in aquatic environments. Water systems of large buildings, such as hospitals, hotels, and rental units are often contaminated by legionellae and various parameters such as physical, chemical, and microbial building water system characteristics can influence Legionella occurrence. A range of physical and chemical disinfection methods have been proposed to control Legionella contamination; however, to date, the most effective procedures have not been defined. There is a need to survey legionellae in water systems to prevent legionellosis. Although the assessment of L. pneumophila in water is typically performed by culture isolation on selective media, it has several limits. For this reason, alternative tools for rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of Legionella in water samples have been proposed. In order to increase knowledge on different aspects of Legionella contamination in the water environment, this book gathers research studies related to the occurrence of Legionella in water systems of different environments; the role of different factors that can influence the Legionella contamination, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of different methodological approaches.

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are a common cause of infections in both community and healthcare settings and have become an increasing threat to public health worldwide. The focus of this Special Issue includes aspects concerning plasmid-mediated antimicrobial resistance along with other carbapenem resistance mechanisms. Understanding the prevalence and routes of transmission of CRE is important in developing specific interventions for healthcare facilities, as well as the general impact of CRE circulation on the environment. Attention has also been focused on carbapenemase testing in order to provide advanced phenotypic and molecular assays for the identification of CRE, as a valid tool for active global surveillance, and from this perspective, the study of resistance mechanisms can provide significant support for the development of new and appropriate antimicrobial molecules. For all of these reasons, the phenomenon of carbapenem resistance deserves more attention, for the sake of public health.
