Summary
In this podcast, hosts delve right into an enlightening discussion with Dr. Michael Charness, Dr. Kalpana Gupta, and Dr. Katherine Linsenmeyer about transmission dynamics in infection control. They particularly zero in on an investigation into the aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2 hours after hospital room changeovers, touching on key findings such as the significance of reversion mutations. They underline the key takeaways from this genomic epidemiology study and its implications for infection prevention. With special guests: Michael E. Charness, MD, Chief of Staff, VA Boston Healthcare System Kalpana Gupta, MD, MPH, Associate Chief of Staff and Chief of Infectious Disease, VA Boston Healthcare System Katherine Linsenmeyer, MD, Hospital Epidemiologist, VA Boston Healthcare System
