By changing their shape, some bacteria can grow more resilient to antibiotics
ScienceDaily recently reported on new research led by Shiladitya Banerjee, an Assistant Professor of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University, that reveals how some bacteria can adapt to long-term exposure to antibiotics by changing their shape. Adaptation is a...
US hospitals lost $22.3B delaying elective surgeries, study estimates
As a result of the pandemic, a study shared by Becker’s Hospital Review estimates that US hospitals lost approximately $22.3B by delaying elective surgeries. Many hospitals were forced to pause these surgeries to ensure they had the resources needed to care for an...Prevention of Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI): A Clinical Practice Protocol in High-Risk Patients
