    Abstract Background: Transmission of infections via contaminated endoscopes is a common problem. Manual cleaning, using at least a detergent, is an important step in endoscope processing and should be performed as soon as possible to avoid drying of organic residues that might interfere with high-level disinfection and promote biofilm formation.
    Aim: To assess the efficacy of two detergent-disinfectants, enzymatic and non-enzymatic, and of an enzymatic detergent used during the manual cleaning against a Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilm.
    Methods: A 24 h biofilm statically formed in a Tygon tube was exposed to detergent-disinfectants at 20 °C and 35 °C for 10 mn, and to enzymatic detergent at 45 °C for 60 mn. The logarithmic reduction in bacteria in the Tygon tube and the number of bacteria in the product supernatant were calculated.
    Findings: Biofilm formation was reproducible between assays. After exposure to detergent-disinfectants, the logarithmic reduction was between 6.32 and 6.71 log
    Conclusion: These results show the importance of the choice of products used during the manual cleaning phase. They also show the potential benefit of combining detergent and disinfectant activity to decrease the bacterial load during the manual cleaning step of endoscope processing.

    Abstract Si la vaccination a permis de freiner la propagation de certaines maladies infectieuses et de limiter les épidémies, l’éducation à l’hygiène et à la santé, la rédaction de protocoles et la formation ont rendu les soins encore plus sécuritaires pour les malades et le personnel hospitalier. Une rétrospective des grandes pandémies et une analyse de la crise de la Covid-19 montrent qu’il faut demeurer très vigilant. En milieu de soins, la notion de protection et d’hygiène reste, encore de nos jours, primordiale. While vaccination has helped to slow the spread of some infectious diseases and limit epidemics, hygiene and health education, protocol writing and training have made health care even safer for patients and hospital staff. A retrospective review of major pandemics and an analysis of the Covid-19 crisis show that we must remain very vigilant. In the health care setting, the notion of protection and hygiene remains, even today, paramount.

    Abstract Biofilm in endoscopes is a major problem that can result in failure of disinfection. We studied the survival of K. pneumoniae in a biofilm formed on endoscope tubes subjected to combined chemical and physical stresses. We monitored bacterial survival in the biofilm after the action of 1% and 2% GTA either immediately or after 15 days of desiccation and described the ability of surviving bacteria to recolonize endoscope tubing in a dynamic model. There were surviving bacteria after 5-min exposure to 2% and 1% GTA. The percentage of survivors after 2% and 1% GTA was greater when the GTA treatment was performed after 15 days of prior desiccation of the biofilm. The survivors were able to recolonize and reform biofilm on abiotic surfaces probably because of the survival of persisters in a viable but non-culturable state in the biofilm. Our findings emphasize that the current guidelines on endoscope reprocessing should be strictly followed but that once constituted the biofilm in endoscope tubing will be very difficult to eradicate with present practices.

    Abstract Objectives: Little is known about efficacy and safety of ethanol lock therapy (ELT) to treat totally implantable venous access device (TIVAD) infections. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety profile of a local treatment with ELT without removal for TIVAD infection due to coagulase-negative staphylococci.
    Methods: We performed a prospective, multicenter, double-blind, randomized clinical trial comparing the efficacy of 40% ELT versus vancomycin lock therapy (VLT) in TIVAD infections due to coagulase-negative staphylococci, complicated or not by bloodstream infection.
    Results: Thirty-one patients were assigned to the ELT group and 30 to the VLT arm. Concomitant bacteremia was present in 41 patients (67.2%). Treatment success was 58.1 % (18 of 31) for the ELT arm and 46.7% (14 of 30) for the VLT arm (p = 0.37). The overall treatment success was 52.5% (32). The risk of treatment failure due to uncontrolled infections, superinfections, and mechanical complications did not differ significantly between participants receiving ELT (13 out of 31 [42%]) and those receiving VLT (16 out of 30 [53%]) with a hazard ratio of 0.70 (p = 0.343; 95% CI [0.34-1.46], Cox model). Catheter malfunctions were significantly more frequent in the ELT arm (11 patients versus 2 in the VLT group, p = 0.01).
    Conclusions: We found an overall high rate of treatment failure that did not differ between the ELT arm and the VLT arm. TIVAD removal must be prioritized to prevent complications (uncontrolled infections, superinfections, and catheter malfunctions) except in exceptional situations.

    Abstract Background: Updating the pathogenesis of catheter-associated bacteriuria (CA-bacteriuria) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is needed to adapt prevention strategies. Our aim was to determine whether the main pathway of CA-bacteriuria in ICU patients was endoluminal or exoluminal. In a prospective study, quantitative urine cultures were sampled from catheter sampling sites, collector bags and the catheter outer surface near the meatus from days 1 to 15 after catheterization. The endoluminal pathway was CA-bacteriuria (defined as 10
    Results: Of 64 included patients, 20 had CA-bacteriuria. Means of catheterization days and incidence density were 6.81 days and 55.2/1000 catheter-days. Of 26 microorganisms identified, 12 (46.2%) were Gram positive cocci, 8 (30.8%) Gram negative bacilli and 6 yeasts. Three (11.5%) CA-bacteriuria were endoluminal and 23 (88.5%) exoluminal, of which 10 (38.5%) were early and 13 (50%) late. Molecular comparison confirmed culture findings. A quality audit showed good compliance with guidelines.
    Conclusion: The exoluminal pathway of CA-bacteriuria in ICU patients predominated and surprisingly occurred early despite good implementation of guidelines. This finding should be considered in guidelines for prevention of CA-bacteriuria.

    Abstract Background: Intramuscular injections (IMIs) remain a frequent practice in mental health. Few studies have examined the issue of nurses' practices concerning IMI in this domain, and none considered specifically hygiene. Finally, no study appears to have looked at emergency situations and their possible influence on practices. The principal objective of our study was to assess the practices associated with IMI in mental health, especially the hygiene-related practices. The secondary objectives were as follows: 1) to assess the practices for the preparation and administration of IMI in mental health for criteria other than hygiene and 2) to determine whether professional experience and emergency situations influence these practices.
    Design: Single-centre cross-sectional study in a psychiatric Hospital and adherence to the STROBE guidelines.
    Methods: The participating nurses all worked with inpatients, and all volunteered for the study. A self-administered questionnaire was sent to all participants. The questionnaire included questions about knowledge and practices associated with IMI, some considered in two different situations: emergencies and planned injections. The distribution of the responses was tested by the chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test, as appropriate, or by McNemar's chi-squared test or Friedman's nonparametric chi-squared test for matched data.
    Results: Response rate was 48.6%. Overall, 81% of nurses reported correct handwashing before preparation, 87.5% responded that the dorsogluteal site is currently recommended for IMI, and 74.6% that they did not know the "Z track" technique. In planned injections, 58.7% reported that the choice of needle was determined, at least in part, by the patient's body mass index. In emergency situations, adherence to guidelines was less frequent for all types of practices.
    Conclusions: This study shows the need to improve practices for the frequently used procedure of IMI among mental health nurses.
    Relevance to clinical practice: Better professional education appears necessary to develop optimal practices, especially in emergency situations.

    Title translation Investigation of hospital epidemics and guidelines for the management of suspected cases of measles and invasive meningococcal disease.
    Abstract Outbreaks of infectious diseases within healthcare institutions must be detected early and controlled. Hospitals should develop a plan for coordinating all hospital components to respond to these critical situations. The knowledge of the different steps in an outbreak investigation can help identify the source of ongoing outbreaks and prevent additional cases. Outbreak investigation is based on a multidisciplinary approach and is an opportunity for research, training and program considerations.
