TIARA-IMPACT: Immunological and microbiome-based predictors of postoperative infections

Postoperative infections following major abdominal surgery remain common and difficult to predict. A key reason is the incomplete understanding of how individual differences in the gut microbiome, host immunity, and microbial metabolites shape infection susceptibility. Following completion of patient enrollment in the TIARA cohort study, "TIARA-IMPACT" conducts in-depth analyses of [...]

R-Net: Core network for the study of multidrug-resistant bacterial organisms

Implementation of evidence-based infection control practices to reduce healthcare-associated infection remains a national and international priority. R-Net investigates the effect of various interventions aimed at limiting the spread of infections due to multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO)—including infection prevention and control, decolonisation, antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) and the development of new antimicrobials [...]
