TriPcides: A Dual-Action Response to Resistant Staph
New TriPcide molecules kill MRSA superbugs and stop them from damaging tissue. This offers hope for fighting antibiotic resistance. Affects patients with staph infections.

Scientists have created new TriPcide molecules that are effective against MRSA. This is important because MRSA is hard to treat with current medicines.

Hospitals are dangerous places. Air purification would mitigate the risk. Too bad most infection control professionals have voted for job security over patient safety, as I recently experienced up close and personally.
This is by no means the first paper to make these points.
> Despite good air quality (mean CO2 614 ppm), 39% of air samples had SARS-CoV-2 RNA.
> Hot spots for risk in the emergency ward include the acute care and waiting area.
> In critical care, hot spots include the tearoom and corridors near infected rooms.
> The risk of nosocomial outbreaks may be mitigated through air purifiers and masks.

CW: speculation about doctors & nurses not taking covid precautions
I think it's many factors interlocking, such as:
• Not wanting to go against the flow socially, or against the hierarchy, when so many colleagues have taken official advice at face value, such that disregarding infection control in this area is "normal".
• Lack of support from the system, and/or an expectation that infection control is organised from above, so that most individual staff aren't thinking in terms of "should we be getting air filters on the ward / in the room" etc.
• Lack of supplies, and/or people further up the hierarchy who will rebuke them for using the more expensive masks when the rule is none or baggy blues.
• Lack of correct info, because the info available to us geeks who read the research is not necessarily the same as the info reaching people who are working long busy days in healthcare!
• Trauma from death, stress and moral injury in 2020, and masking being a reminder of that time, so it's emotionally easier to act as if things are back to 2019-normal.
• An assumption that they themselves will be okay: perhaps selected for because you're more likely to think of doctoring/ nursing as an attractive job if you're a bit blasé about catching things.
• A sort of "sunk ethical cost" which would have to be acknowledged in relation to patients they infected and thereby harmed over the last few years, about which they're currently in denial. And this one of course also applies to management making funding decisions.
That's just based on stories I've heard and my own intuitions about human nature. Would be interesting to see some actual qualitative research on which of these factors or which others are most at play.

CW: institutional abandonment, NHS, covid
Great piece of writing - thanks for sharing.
This part in particular...
"The failure of trusted institutions to do what we expect them to — keep people safe, protect them, hold bad actors accountable — deepens trauma and its costs to individuals and collectives by eviscerating social trust. The trauma stems not only from interpersonal violence but also from the awareness that a collective body purporting to be just and protective is the opposite, instead more likely to punish the vulnerable than to help them."
Now I'm thinking of the abdication of infection control around covid, currently being perpetrated by the NHS and most dentists.
I thought, are we being actively _punished_ rather than abandoned though? And then I thought of things I've heard (heard firsthand but not experienced firsthand) about how wearing a fitted respi mask in hospital marks you as a troublemaker, whereas using a non-fitted baggy blue signals compliance and leads to kinder treatment.

@DoomsdaysCW
As if the war wasn’t enough, to then be running out of treatment options for wounded soldiers… the situation seems hopeless… but every analysis identifies one or more solutions & this is a textbook write-up of how to find hope & better responses. 🙂
So glad I read it; only concern is what is the situation in Ruzzia (have read elsewhere about rises in all sorts of infectious diseases like HIV etc in Ruzzia & in a world so interconnected can we afford a rogue country so close to many others? Rhetorical question - but facts could be helpful - before they start distributing the measles-infected blankets).#PublicHealth #ReconnectingConsequencesToCauses #InfectionControl #AntibioticsResistance #WarMedicine #Treatment

The vagina is acidic to prevent harmful bacteria overgrowth or (any?) yeast or fungal growth.
The uterus isn't as acidic afaik, so it's more vulnerable to infections from any microorganisms that get that far.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, or PID, can lead to infertility btw, if that's something important to you.
Sexually Transmitted Infections, or STIs, can malinger, so please test regularly for them (or whenever you remember) when you can.Older term: STDs for Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
A disease is a collection of symptoms (maybe? Pls feel free to correct or add nuance) whereas an infection is a situation where harmful microorganisms reach a noticeable population inside a living creature.The vagina is acidic to prevent harmful bacteria overgrowth or (any?) yeast or fungal growth.

CW: CW Discussion of pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion, etc
Hell, the name 'miscarriage' itself is victim-blamey. To carry out a process or a sentence is to do something successfully or to completion. To miscarry is to 'fail' at doing that thing.
Consider the phrase 'cervical incompetence', when describing the cervix. The cervix is the... it's either the bit facing the vaj or the tube between the vagina (tube past the vulva lips) and the uterus ('womb' connecting the Fallopian tubes to the vagina).
Uhhhh, anyway, cervical incompetence is when that tube is weak or weakened and lets too much into or out of the uterus. I think it's a pregnancy (obstetrics) thing, but it might cover stuff like Pelvic Inflammatory Disease too.

CW: CW Discussion of pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion, etc
IDK how people affected by it directly or indirectly would feel, but a Miscarriage Day might also help some people.
Apparently there is stigma about experiencing pregnancy loss.
Regardless of cause or intent, not just anti-medical abortion people but some people victim-blame anyone who goes through a spontaneous abortion, including people who wanted to be pregnant.
('Abortion' means to end something before the expected finish. Spontaneous means sudden. A spontaneous abortion is when your body ends a pregnancy without your input.)Not all pregnancies are viable, not all pregnancies remain viable, and abortion is a human right for anyone who can become pregnant.
Children are a goddamn gift! Forcing someone to care for another human when they're not willing and ready is horrifically cruel to all involved.#VeRamble #SexualHealth #GenitalHealth #GenitoUrinaryMedicine #NonClinician #NotLicensed #Health #HealthCare #WellBeing #InfectionPrevention #InfectionControl #Hygiene #Risk #HarmMitigation

Sounds like an *excellent* public health program: “We want the Government to set new rules on air quality and infection control in health and social care settings, to prevent and control airborne infections, with new ventilation and filtration requirements, new PPE standards and staffing rules, and monitoring and inspection to ensure compliance..."
Here’s hoping more than enough people sign the petition to get immediate action. 🙂

The medical establishment is resistant to change.
Semmelweis, who discovered the benefits of hand washing for infection control, was fired & put in an insane asylum.
Folks, doctors included, will deny reality as long as possible.
Maskers need to stand strong, the tides will shift eventually.

Texas becomes the latest State to propose a mask ban (while in the midst of a measles outbreak that’s currently over 100 cases).
These are ugly laws. They’re discriminatory & push disabled people further out of society. They increase the likelihood of police harassment. They paint maskers as “bad”.
There’s an excellent document with scripts for how to call & fight back! 🧵 1/2

Unfortunately things might be much worse than that.
#InfectionControl in an overcrowded environment is expensive. And it's unpopular with Trump's base. And RFK Junior.
And doing it successfully is more difficult than herding millions of microscopic cats that float in the air.
Covid19 from 2020-2023 can so easily be greatly surpassed by one or more severe pandemics.
And Junior isn't fit. Nor almost any of Trump's lackies. And it'll take great teamwork when the next one arrives.
