Abstract

In the United States, a public debate remains about the existence and effects of anthropogenic climate change. This skepticism is present in the agricultural sector, rendering climate science communication challenging. Due to the polarization of climate change issues and the concurrent need for agricultural adaptation, we sought to examine how scientists communicate in this sector. A survey, administered to climate scientists and pertinent U.S. federal agency staff (response rate = 43%), was conducted to examine perspectives on communicating with five agricultural stakeholder groups: agribusinesses, crop advisors, general public, producers, and policymakers. We focused on three aspects of the communication process with these stakeholders to evaluate if scientists, as messengers, were following best practices-communicator training, knowledge of stakeholder, and terminology use. We found scientists valued communication training; however, the majority had not attended formal training. Scientists had different views on climate change than producers and crop advisors but understood their perspective and were deliberate with their communication with different audiences. This suggests stakeholder knowledge and terminology use do not hinder communication between scientist and stakeholder. We also highlight three communication challenges present across stakeholder groups-stakeholder knowledge, timescale, and scientific uncertainty-and others that were specific to each stakeholder group. Future research should support scientists by identifying and resolving barriers to training and effective communication strategies for each stakeholder group that addresses these challenges.

Abstract

Background: The role of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization of healthcare workers (HCWs), patients and the hospital environment in MRSA transmission in non-outbreak settings is poorly understood.Aims: To investigate transmission events (TEs) involving HCWs, patients and the environment under non-outbreak conditions in a hospital with a history of endemic MRSA using whole-genome sequencing (WGS).Methods: HCW (N = 326) and patient (N = 388) volunteers on nine wards were tested for nasal and oral MRSA colonization over two years. Near-patient environment (N = 1164), high-frequency touch sites (N = 810) and air (N = 445) samples were screened for MRSA. Representative MRSA and clinical isolates were analysed by WGS and core-genome multi-locus sequence typing (cgMLST). Closely related isolates (≤24 allelic differences) were segregated into related isolated groups (RIGs).Findings: In total, 155 MRSA were recovered: clinical isolates (N = 41), HCWs (N = 22), patients (N = 37), environmental isolates (N = 55). Nine clonal complexes (CCs) were identified among 110/155 MRSA sequenced with 77/110 assigned to CC22. Seventy-nine MRSA segregated into 17 RIGs. Numerous potential TEs were associated with CC22-MRSA (RIGs 1-15), CC45-MRSA (RIG-16) and CC8-MRSA (RIG-17). RIG-1, (the largest RIG) contained 24 ST22-MRSA-IVh from six HCWs, six patients, four clinical and eight environmental samples recovered over 17 months involving 7/9 wards. TEs involving HCW-to-patient, HCW-to-HCW, patient-to-patient and environmental contamination by HCW/patient isolates were evident. HCW, patient, clinical and environmental isolates were identified in four, nine, seven and 13 RIGs, respectively, with 12/13 of these containing isolates closely related to HCW and/or patient isolates.Conclusions: WGS detected numerous potential hospital MRSA TEs involving HCWs, patients and the environment under non-outbreak conditions.
