When infection isn’t infection [PDF]
The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2020 Following open reduction and internal fixation for a proximal humerus fracture a 71-year-old man re-presented with wound changes consistent with infection and elevated inflammatory markers. No significant improvement was seen with concomitant intravenous antibiotics and multiple debridement procedures.

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2010 Musculoskeletal infection is a clinical problem with significant direct healthcare costs. The prevalence of infection after closed, elective surgery is frequently estimated to be less than 2%, but in severe injuries, posttraumatic infection rates have been reported as 10% or greater.

A Gallus gallus Model for Determining Infectivity of Zoonotic Campylobacter
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 To better understand public health implications of waterfowl as reservoirs for zoonotic sources of Campylobacter in recreational waters, we developed a Gallus gallus (chick) model of infection to assess the pathogenicity of environmental isolates of ...

Predicting the size and probability of epidemics in a population with heterogeneous infectiousness and susceptibility [PDF]
, 2007 We analytically address disease outbreaks in large, random networks with heterogeneous infectivity and susceptibility. The transmissibility $T_{uv}$ (the probability that infection of $u$ causes infection of $v$) depends on the infectivity of $u$ and the
