Investigation and Control of an Outbreak of Enterobacter aerogenes Bloodstream Infection in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Fiji
Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, 06/25/09
Narayan SA et al. - The source of the outbreak was traced to a bag of contaminated normal saline in the ward, which was used for multiple patients. All isolates recovered from patients were indistinguishable from the bacteria recovered from the normal saline by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The outbreak was controlled using simple infection control practices such as reinforcement of strict hand hygiene policy, provision of single use vials of normal saline, and strict aseptic technique for injections.
