Spread of drug resistant bacteria linked to patient hand contamination and antibiotic use within nursing homes

A physician invents a creative approach for medical students in diabetic care.

A Michigan Medicine research team seeks to identify characteristics of patients within nursing homes, as well as the nursing home environment itself, that are associated with contamination by vancomycin-resistant enterococci.

We are pleased to share with you our 2022–23 Report with a special featured story on the history of the early women in M&I at the University of Michigan.

The tool, which is free to use, includes photography, videography and virtual reality learning resources from anatomical donors, along with comprehensive lab manuals and interactive files with click-to-reveal testing capabilities.

Michigan Medicine researchers have zeroed in on C. auris’ uncanny ability to stick to everything from skin to catheters and made a startling discovery.

Surprising findings from a Michigan Medicine study in Nature Medicine suggest that the burden of C. diff infection may be less a matter of hospital transmission and more a result of characteristics associated with the patients themselves.

In his practice as a podiatrist, surgeon, and wound care specialist, Alton R. Johnson Jr., D.P.M., sees a high percentage of patients with diabetes who seek care for things such as neuropathy, vascular complications, or chronic wounds associated with the diabetic foot.
