La Nuit des ondes gravitationnelles : a multi-site outreach event about gravitational waves

International audienceOn Monday March 20th 2017, an outreach event dedicated to the gravitational waves and their recent discovery by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration took place. Jointly organized by the “Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique” (CNRS) and the “Société Française de Physique » (SFP), it was targeting the general audience with an emphasis on high-school students and teachers. The key feature of this project was to be multi-site, meaning that the event would take place simultaneously in a dozen French cities, plus the French Institute in Firenze (Italy), close to the site of the Virgo experiment. The project was also meant to be interactive, with all sites connected through a videoconference for a Q&A session with scientists, a quiz and finally a conference about astrophysics in the cinema. The event was also broadcasted live on the web, via a webcast system and the social medias. In addition, four contests (science and arts) open to anyone (schools and the general audience) were organized

Assessment of Factors Associated With Community-Acquired Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase–Producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> Urinary Tract Infections in France

International audienceIMPORTANCE Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli is considered a leading pathogen contributing to the global burden of antimicrobial resistance. OBJECTIVE To better understand factors associated with the heterogeneity of community-acquired ESBL-producing E coli urinary tract infections (UTIs) in France. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cross-sectional study performed from January 1 to December 31, 2021, was based on data collected via PRIMO (Surveillance and Prevention of Antimicrobial Resistance in Primary Care and Nursing Homes), a nationwide clinical laboratory surveillance system in France. Strains of E coli isolated from community urine samples from January 1 to December 31, 2019, from 59 administrative departments of metropolitan France were included. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Quasi-Poisson regression models were used to assess the associations between several ecological factors available on government and administration websites between 2010 and 2020 (demographic population structure, living conditions, baseline health care services, antibiotic consumptions, economic indicators, animal farming density, and environmental characteristics) and the number of ESBL-producing E coli strains isolated from urine samples of individuals with community-acquired UTI in 2019
