    Abstract During 2022, a total of 9,515 asymptomatic healthcare workers of a large hospital in Germany underwent SARS-CoV-2 PCR screening twice weekly. Of 398,784 saliva samples, 3,555 (0.89%) were PCR positive (median cycle threshold value 30). Early identification of infected healthcare workers can help reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the hospital environment.

    Abstract The opportunistic black yeast-like fungus Exophiala dermatitidis frequently colonizes the respiratory tract of cystic fibroses (CF) patients. Additionally, it can cause superficial, systemic, and cerebral forms of phaeohyphomycoses. The objective of this study was to develop and apply a microsatellite or short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping scheme for E. dermatitidis. In total, 82 E. dermatitidis isolates from various geographic origins (environmental = 9, CF = 63, invasive isolates = 9, melanin-deficient mutant = 1) were included in this study. After next-generation sequencing of a reference strain and sequence filtering for microsatellites, six STR markers were selected and amplified in two multiplex PCR reactions. The included isolates were discriminated in a genetic cluster analysis using the Pearson algorithm to reveal the relatedness of the isolates. The E. dermatitidis isolates clustered on basis of both, their source and their origin. The invasive isolates from Asia were unrelated to isolates from CF. Nearly all environmental isolates were grouped separately from patients' isolates. The Simpson index was 0.94. In conclusion, we were able to establish a STR genotyping scheme for investigating population genomics of E. dermatitidis.

    Abstract The diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients is crucial since most clinical signs are not specific to invasive fungal infections. To detect an IPA, different criteria should be considered. Next to host factors and radiological signs, microbiological criteria should be fulfilled. For microbiological diagnostics, different methods are available. Next to the conventional culture-based approaches like staining and culture, non-culture-based methods can increase sensitivity and improve time-to-result. Besides fungal biomarkers, like galactomannan and (1→3)-β-D-glucan as nonspecific tools, molecular-based methods can also offer detection of resistance determinants. The detection of novel biomarkers or targets is promising. In this review, we evaluate and discuss the value of non-culture-based microbiological methods (galactomannan, (1→3)-β-D-glucan,

    Abstract For the prevention of infectious diseases, knowledge about potential transmission routes is essential. Pathogens can be transmitted directly (i.e. respiratory droplets, hand-to-hand contact) or indirectly via contaminated surfaces (fomites). In particular, frequently touched objects/surfaces may serve as transmission vehicles for different clinically relevant bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens. Banknotes and coins offer ample surface area and are frequently exchanged between individuals. Consequently, many concerns have been raised in the recent past, that banknotes and coins could serve as vectors for the transmission of disease-causing microorganisms. This review summarizes the latest research on the potential of paper currency and coins to serve as sources of pathogenic viral, bacterial, and fungal agents. In contrast to the current perception of banknotes and coins as important transmission vehicles, current evidence suggests, that banknotes and coins do not pose a particular risk of pathogen infection for the public.

    Abstract During the World War II jaundice and hepatitis in the US army were observed after vaccination with the yellow fever vaccine containing human plasma for stabilization. This led to first heat experiments with volunteers without knowledge of the causative agents. Finally, experiments of human serum with volunteers and chimpanzees led to the conclusion that the hepatitis B virus (HBV) which had been identified as the responsible agent of the contamination of the vaccine, could not be inactivated at 98°C after 1 min, whereas 2 min in two chimpanzees were enough. Meanwhile, a cell culture system became available showing that 2 min exposure time is not enough depending on the virus strain used whereas 5 min means complete inactivation of HBV. The great stability of the blood-borne HBV was also of interest in hospital hygiene due to the use of moist heat for disinfection of heat-stable medical devices in washer-disinfectants. The requirements for washer-disinfectors and the parameters describing disinfection with moist heat are defined in the EN ISO 15883. In this standard, the efficacy of this thermal disinfection is described by the A
