Identifying and ranking super spreaders in real world complex networks without influence overlap

Giridhar Maji et al.

Summary: The study focuses on identifying super spreaders in complex networks, proposing a heuristic template based on node degree, closeness, and coreness for ranking. It evaluates the use of k-shell and m-shell as coreness measures in two variants and uses a geodesic-based constraint for selecting initial seed nodes. The experimental simulation with the SIR spreading model and evaluation with performance metrics on benchmark real-world networks demonstrate the superiority of the proposed methods.

Management of a hospital-wide vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium outbreak in a Dutch general hospital, 2014-2017: successful control using a restrictive screening strategy

Veronica Weterings et al.

Summary: A hospital in the Netherlands experienced an outbreak of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium from December 2014 to February 2017. A control strategy was implemented, involving targeted screening and isolation, periodic hospital-wide point prevalence screening, measures to improve compliance with standard infection control precautions, and enhanced environmental cleaning. This strategy successfully controlled the outbreak within nine months, with a reduction in isolation days and cultures taken.
