Trends in the epidemiology of Clostridioides difficile infection in Germany

Infection, 2023
Despite reports of a declining incidence over the last decade, Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is still considered the most important healthcare-associated causes of diarrhea worldwide. In Germany, several measures have been taken to observe, report, and influence this development. This report aims to analyze the development of hospital coding

Surface visualisation of bacterial biofilms using neutral atom microscopy

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract The scanning helium microscope (SHeM) is a new technology that uses a beam of neutral helium atoms to image surfaces non‐destructively and with extreme surface sensitivity. Here, we present the application of the SHeM to image bacterial biofilms.

Edoxaban‐induced enterocolitis: The first case report demonstrating distinct endoscopic and histological features

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), including edoxaban, are widely used for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism. While gastrointestinal bleeding and diarrhea are recognized adverse effects, DOAC‐induced enterocolitis has not been established as a distinct clinical entity.

Novel and emerging sources of Clostridioides difficile infection

PLOS Pathogens, 2019
Clostridioides difficile causes more healthcare-associated infections in the United States than any other pathogen, with an estimated 500,000 infections and 29,000 deaths per year [1]. Although C. difficile first emerged as a healthcare-associated pathogen, infections are increasingly acquired in the community [2].

Antibiotic Resistance: A Genetic and Physiological Perspective

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.
The development of resistance to antimicrobials and their historical progression are depicted in this graphic. It draws attention to important biochemical, physiological, and genetic factors that contribute to AMR, such as the transmission of genes, the development of biofilms, and the inactivation of antibiotics.

The impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on longitudinal trends of surgical mortality and inpatient quality of care in Ontario, Canada

Journal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7556-7570, November 2025.
Abstract Aims Previous studies have shown the COVID‐19 pandemic was associated with reductions in volume across a spectrum of non‐SARS‐CoV‐2 hospitalizations. In the present study, we examine the impact of the pandemic on patient safety and quality of care. Design This is a retrospective population‐based study of discharge abstracts. Methods We applied
