What does NEIL NEGRIN research?

Dr. Negrin studies how to enhance safety and efficiency in dental and healthcare environments. He examines various aspects of hygiene, including the effectiveness of hand washing methods and the impacts on skin health for healthcare workers. In addition, he explores innovative technologies, such as RFID (a system that uses radio waves to track items), to ensure dental instruments are properly cleaned and available when needed. His work addresses critical issues like antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which affects the effectiveness of treatments for infections.

Key findings

  • In a study on dental instruments, implementing RFID technology reduced risks of errors and saved time for dental professionals, enhancing patient safety.
  • Research demonstrated that traditional hand washing with soap significantly increased skin dryness and irritation among healthcare workers, while alcohol-based hand rubs provided better skin protection.
  • In a multicenter study, it was found that using alcohol-based hand rubs did not harm the skin and may offer additional protection compared to soap and water, helping healthcare workers maintain skin health.
  • A study on antibiotic resistance revealed that the resistance of Escherichia coli to treatment rose dramatically from 12% to 86% between 2005 and 2008, pointing to significant challenges in managing bacterial infections.
  • It was observed that the resistance of certain Enterobacter species to antibiotics dropped from 33% to 5%, suggesting that some bacterial strains are becoming more sensitive to treatment over time.

Plain English
This study looked at using RFID technology to automatically track the cleanliness and availability of dental instruments. Researchers found that this system saves time for dental workers and significantly reduces the risk of errors compared to manual tracking. This is important because it improves patient safety and ensures that instruments are properly cleaned and sterilized. Who this helps: This helps dental patients and dental care professionals.

American journal of infection control

Chamorey E, Marcy PY, Dandine M, Veyres P, Negrin N +7 more

Plain English
This study looked at how hand hygiene practices impact skin dryness and irritation in healthcare settings. Researchers found that out of 1,932 assessments, traditional handwashing with soap and water increased the risk of skin problems, while using alcohol-based hand rubs did not harm the skin and may actually protect it. This matters because it highlights the advantages of using alcohol-based hand rubs to maintain skin health among healthcare workers. Who this helps: Healthcare workers who need to maintain hygiene while protecting their skin.

Plain English
This study looked at how staff hand hygiene practices in healthcare settings lead to dryness and irritation of their skin. It found that out of 1,932 evaluations, traditional hand washing with soap increased the likelihood of skin issues, while using alcohol-based hand rubs was gentler on the skin and even offered some protection against irritation. This matters because it supports the use of alcohol rubs, which can help healthcare workers maintain better skin health and comply with hygiene guidelines. Who this helps: This helps healthcare workers and improves their working conditions.

Leotard S, Negrin N

Plain English
The study looked at antibiotic resistance patterns in bacteria from 2005 to 2008 at Grasse Hospital, focusing on a type of bacteria known as Enterobacteriaceae that produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (E-BLSE). Researchers found that resistance in Escherichia coli increased significantly from 12% to 86%, while resistance in Enterobacter species fell from 33% to 5%. This shift in resistance highlights a growing challenge in treating infections effectively, particularly due to high resistance to fluoroquinolones, with resistance dropping from 88% to 68%, indicating some strains are becoming more sensitive to antibiotics. Who this helps: This research benefits doctors and healthcare providers by informing them about changing resistance patterns, which can improve treatment strategies for patients.
