    Abstract Background: Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a common opportunistic pathogen of companion dogs and an occasional human pathogen. Treatment is hampered by antimicrobial resistance including methicillin resistance encoded by mecA within the mobile genetic element SCCmec.
    Objectives: SCCmec elements are diverse, especially in non-Staphyloccocus aureus staphylococci, and novel variants are likely to be present in S. pseudintermedius. The aim was to characterize the SCCmec elements found in four canine clinical isolates of S. pseudintermedius.
    Material and methods: Isolates were whole-genome sequenced and SCCmec elements were assembled, annotated and compared to known SCCmec types.
    Results and discussion: Two novel SSCmec are present in these isolates. SCCmec7017-61515 is characterized by a novel combination of a Class A mec gene complex and a type 5 ccr previously only described in composite SCCmec elements. The other three isolates share a novel composite SCCmec with features of SCCmec types IV and VI.
    Conclusions: S. pseudintermedius is a reservoir of novel SSCmec elements that has implications for understanding antimicrobial resistant in veterinary and human medicine.

    Abstract Aims: Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) is an important public health problem in many countries. Despite reports of such isolates being found in both animals and humans in the United Kingdom few data are available on the prevalence in humans of such isolates. A prevalence study was therefore undertaken in the north-west of England.
    Methods and results: One thousand two hundred and forty-two human MRSA isolates collected during 2015 were screened by PCR to detect two of the major forms of LA-MRSA: clonal complex (CC)398 and mecC MRSA. Isolates identified were further characterized by antimicrobial susceptibility testing and whole-genome sequencing using HiSeq technology. A single mecC MRSA isolate and three CC398 LA-MRSA were identified among the isolates screened. All four isolates were from MRSA screening. A phylogenetic analysis, including previously sequenced isolates from the United Kingdom, provided strong evidence for the genomic and epidemiological linkage between a pair of animal and human isolates of CC398 LA-MRSA in England. These data are indicative of animal and humans isolates of CC398 LA-MRSA being involved in the same transmission network and is the first demonstration of such closely linked animal and human isolates of this lineage in the UK.
    Conclusions: The study indicates there is a low prevalence of CC398 LA-MRSA and mecC MRSA among MRSA isolates in the sampled population.
    Significance and impact of the study: While the study demonstrates that LA-MRSA were rare among human MRSA isolates in the sampled population, the data provide a baseline for the future surveillance of what is a significant public health challenge in some regions. The demonstration of linked human and animal isolates of CC398 LA-MRSA, supported by genomic and epidemiological data, reinforces the need for such surveillance and for continued awareness of the risks that LA-MRSA may pose in the UK.

    Abstract This systematic review aimed to critically synthesis evidence to identify the impact that audit and feedback processes have on the professional role of the nurse and psychological well-being. Little is known about the extent to which audit and feedback processes can positively or negatively impact the professional role of the nurse and psychological well-being. An integrative systematic review was conducted. Covidence systematic review software was used to manage the screening process. Data extraction and methodological quality appraisal were conducted in parallel, and a narrative synthesis was conducted. Nurse participation and responsiveness to audit and feedback processes depended on self-perceived motivation, content, and delivery; and nurses viewed it as an opportunity for professional development. However, audit was reported to negatively impact nurses' psychological well-being, with impacts on burnout, stress, and demotivation in the workplace. Targeting framing, delivery, and content of audit and feedback is critical to nurses' satisfaction and successful quality improvement.

    Abstract Aim: To understand how nurses talk about documentation audit in relation to their professional role.
    Background: Nursing documentation in health services is often audited as an indicator of nursing care and patient outcomes. There are few studies exploring the nurses' perspectives on this common process.
    Design: Secondary qualitative thematic analysis.
    Methods: Qualitative focus groups (n = 94 nurses) were conducted in nine diverse clinical areas of an Australian metropolitan health service for a service evaluation focussed on comprehensive care planning in 2020. Secondary qualitative analysis of the large data set using reflexive thematic analysis focussed specifically on the nurse experience of audit, as there was the significant emphasis by participants and was outside the scope of the primary study.
    Results: Nurses': (1) value quality improvement but need to feel involved in the cycle of change, (2) highlight that 'failed audit' does not equal failed care, (3) describe the tension between audited documentation being just bureaucratic and building constructive nursing workflows, (4) value building rapport (with nurses, patients) but this often contrasted with requirements (organizational, legal and audit) and additionally, (5) describe that the focus on completion of documentation for audit creates unintended and undesirable consequences.
    Conclusion: Documentation audit, while well-intended and historically useful, has unintended negative consequences on patients, nurses and workflows.
    Impact: Accreditation systems rely on care being auditable, but when individual legal, organizational and professional standards are implemented via documentation forms and systems, the nursing burden is impacted at the point of care for patients, and risks both incomplete cares for patients and incomplete documentation.
    No patient or public contribution: Patients participated in the primary study on comprehensive care assessment by nurses but did not make any comments about documentation audit.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the pathology in seals from which Listeria monocytogenes was isolated and investigate if the lesions' nature and severity were related to the phylogeny of isolates. L. monocytogenes was isolated from 13 of 50 (26%) dead grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) pups, six (12%) in systemic distribution, on the Isle of May, Scotland. Similar fatal L. monocytogenes-associated infections were found in a grey seal pup from Carnoustie, Scotland, and a juvenile harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) in the Netherlands. Whole genome sequencing of 15 of the L. monocytogenes isolates identified 13 multilocus sequence types belonging to the L. monocytogenes lineages I and II, but with scant phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance and limited variation in virulence factors. The phylogenetic diversity present suggests there are multiple sources of L. monocytogenes, even for seal pups born in the same colony and breeding season. This is the first description of L. monocytogenes isolated from, and detected in lesions in, pinnipeds and indicates that infection can be systemic and fatal. Therefore, listeriosis may be an emerging or overlooked disease in seals with infection originating from contamination of the marine environment.

    Abstract Purpose: To critically synthesise qualitative research to understand experiences of supportive care in people affected by brain cancer and their informal caregivers.
    Methods: A qualitative systematic review was conducted according to the Joanna Briggs methodology and has been reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) Guidelines. Electronic databases were searched by an expert systematic review librarian for all qualitative studies irrespective of research design. All publications were double screened by two reviewers using a pre-determined exclusion and inclusion criteria. The review was managed using Covidence systematic review software. Methodological quality assessment and data extraction were performed. Qualitative findings accompanied by illustrative quotes from included studies were extracted and grouped into categories, which created the overall synthesised findings.
    Results: A total of 33 studies were included which represented a total sample of 671 participants inclusive of 303 patients and 368 informal caregivers. There was a total of 220 individual findings included in this review, which were synthesised into two findings (1) caregivers and patients perceived supports which would have been helpful and (2) caregiver and patient experiences of unmet supportive care needs.
    Conclusion: This review highlighted the suffering and distress caused by brain cancer and associated treatments. Both patients and their informal caregivers experienced disconnect from themselves in renegotiating roles, and a profound sense of loneliness as the physical deterioration of the disease progressed. Both patients and informal caregivers reported similar unmet needs within the current service provision for brain cancer. However, what is apparent is that current cancer services are provided solely for patients, with little or no consideration to the support needs of both the patient and their informal caregiver. Service re-design is needed to improve care coordination with individualised informational support, implementation of holistic needs assessments for both the patients and their caregivers, better community support provision, improved opportunities for emotional care with early referral for palliative care services.
    Implications for cancer survivors: It is recommended that members of the multidisciplinary brain cancer team reflect on these findings to target holistic needs assessments and develop shared self-management care plans for both the patient and the informal caregiver.

    Abstract The absence of an accepted gold standard to estimate volume status is an obstacle for optimal management of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). The applicability of the analogue mean systemic filling pressure (Pmsa) as a surrogate of the mean circulatory pressure to estimate volume status for patients with LVADs has not been investigated. Variability of flows generated by the Impella CP, a temporary LVAD, should have no physiological impact on fluid status. This translational interventional ovine study demonstrated that Pmsa did not change with variable circulatory flows induced by a continuous flow LVAD (the average dynamic increase in Pmsa of 0.20 ± 0.95 mmHg from zero to maximal Impella flow was not significant (p = 0.68)), confirming applicability of the human Pmsa equation for an ovine LVAD model. The study opens new directions for future translational and human investigations of fluid management using Pmsa for patients with temporary LVADs.
