Detection of pathogens in the neonatal ICU environment with Dr Ginny Moore

In this episode, Martin talks to Dr Jinny Moore from the National Health Security Agency in England about detecting pathogens in the ICU environment. They discuss a recent paper where whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on presumptive S. capitis NRCS-A isolates was collected from infants admitted to nationwide NICU and from environmental sampling in two distinct NICUs. The discussion includes details on the approach to sampling (neonates and environment).

Papers discussed:

Detection, survival, and persistence of Staphylococcus capitis NRCS-A in neonatal units in England https://www.journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S0195-6701(23)00234-7/fulltext
