AbstractObjective:We investigated genetic, epidemiologic, and environmental factors contributing to positive Staphylococcus epidermidisjoint cultures.Design:Retrospective cohort study with whole-genome sequencing (WGS).Patients:We identified S. epidermidisisolates from hip or knee cultures in patients with 1 or more prior corresponding intra-articular procedure at our hospital.Methods:WGS and single-nucleotide polymorphism–based clonality analyses were performed, including species identification, in silico multilocus sequence typing (MLST), phylogenomic analysis, and genotypic assessment of the prevalence of specific antibiotic resistance and virulence genes. Epidemiologic review was performed to compare cluster and noncluster cases.Results:In total, 60 phenotypically distinct S. epidermidisisolates were identified. After removal of duplicates and impure samples, 48 isolates were used for the phylogenomic analysis, and 45 (93.7%) isolates were included in the clonality analysis. Notably, 5 S. epidermidisstrains (10.4%) showed phenotypic susceptibility to oxacillin yet harbored mecA, and 3 (6.2%) strains showed phenotypic resistance despite not having mecA. Smrwas found in all isolates, and mupApositivity was not observed. We also identified 6 clonal clusters from the clonality analysis, which accounted for 14 (31.1%) of the 45 S. epidermidisisolates. Our epidemiologic investigation revealed ties to common aspirations or operative procedures, although no specific common source was identified.Conclusions:Most S. epidermidisisolates from clinical joint samples are diverse in origin, but we identified an important subset of 31.1% that belonged to subclinical healthcare–associated clusters. Clusters appeared to resolve spontaneously over time, suggesting the benefit of routine hospital infection control and disinfection practices.

Of course, navigating brand relationships is nothing new for Rubik. Taking on her most compelling work yet, model ANJA RUBIK calls for change in her native Poland "Modeling is a very specific profession where your body becomes your tool", says Polish-born Anja Rubik, who has fronted campaigns for Chloé, Gucci, and Valentino, and was one of Karl Lagerfeld's top muses at Fendi and Chanel. "The extremely right-wing government, which uses sexuality as political ammunition, was trying to eliminate one of three exceptions to the law", says Rubik, who spoke at rallies and quickly discovered a larger knowledge gap central to the issue at hand.

I never wanted to believe that a president of the United States would violate the Constitution, as this president has. Despite her cordial relationship with President Trump, her bipartisan support, and the fact that it was a federal statute to promote her, the president made it clear that he was going to bypass her for the top position of director of National Intelligence, vacated by Dan Coats. "On the one hand, it was awful because it was my life's work and I'm good at it, and there's no reason in the world that the president shouldn't trust me", Gordon says now of the dismissal. "The most important thing was not whether Sue Gordon got to keep the position, but whether the president's going to get good intelligence - and I have a lot of confidence in the community", she says. An expert in intelligence and global risk, Gordon says her next act includes moving into the private sector and working with tech companies to help them understand the responsibility they carry.
