Bacterial fitness shapes the population dynamics of antibiotic-resistant and -susceptible bacteria in a model of combined antibiotic and anti-virulence treatment [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Bacterial resistance to antibiotic treatment is a huge concern: introduction of any new antibiotic is shortly followed by the emergence of resistant bacterial isolates in the clinic. This issue is compounded by a severe lack of new antibiotics reaching the market.

Polymeric Anti‐Antibiotic Microparticles to Prevent Antibiotic Resistance Evolution
Small, EarlyView.This study introduces sevelamer (SEV) microparticles as a repurposed adjuvant therapy to combat antimicrobial resistance. SEV microparticles effectively capture vancomycin (VAN) and daptomycin (DAP), preventing these last‐resort antibiotics from driving resistance.

Assessing the Calibration of Subdistribution Hazard Models in Discrete Time [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The generalization performance of a risk prediction model can be evaluated by its calibration, which measures the agreement between predicted and observed outcomes on external validation data. Here, methods for assessing the calibration of discrete time-to-event models in the presence of competing risks are proposed.

Evaluating hospital infection control measures for antimicrobial-resistant pathogens using stochastic transmission models: application to Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci in intensive care units [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Nosocomial pathogens such as Methicillin-Resistant {\em Staphylococcus aureus} (MRSA) and Vancomycin-resistant {\em Enterococci} (VRE) are the cause of significant morbidity and mortality among hospital patients. It is important to be able to assess the efficacy of control measures using data on patient outcomes.

Management of nurse shortage and its impact on pathogen dissemination in the intensive care unit
Epidemics, 2014 Introduction: Studies provide evidence that reduced nurse staffing resources are associated to an increase in health care-associated infections in intensive care units, but tools to assess the contribution of the mechanisms driving these relations are ...
