EMerGE-NeT
Project Name: Effectiveness of Infection Control Strategies against Intra- and Inter-hospital Transmission of MultidruG-resistant Enterobacteriaceae – Insights from a Multi-level Mathematical NeTwork model
Project Category: multi-center research project
Heads of Project:
- Prof. Dr. med. Rafael Mikolajczyk (University Hospital Halle (Saale), for EMerGE-NeT)
- Prof. Dr. André Scherag (Jena University Hospital)
Duration and Status: 1.6.2017 – 1.5.2020, data use completed
Data Types Provided: Patient movement data within the hospital
Abstract:
The aim of the project is to investigate the transmission of multi-resistant gastrointestinal pathogens in health care systems of selected countries in Europe and Israel. The role of patient flows between hospitals and during inpatient stays as well as the characteristics of different gastrointestinal pathogens will be considered. Based on this, a generic network model will be developed to investigate the effects of different prevention strategies.
Funding:
This project is part of a transnational research network within the Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance (JPIAMR) and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under the funding code (FKZ) 01KI1704A-C.
