我们调查了通气儿科患者体内洋葱伯克霍尔德氏菌复合体的定植情况。从 15 名患者、2 个水槽引流管和多个呼吸机部件中分离出来的菌株被发现属于单一新洋葱伯克虫克隆。口腔和气管造口护理期间使用的医院自来水被认为是最有可能的传播机制。
We investigated a cluster of Burkholderia cepacia complex colonization in ventilated pediatric patients. Isolates from 15 patients, 2 sink drains, and several ventilator components were found to belong to a single B cenocepacia clone. Hospital tap water used during oral and tracheostomy care was identified as the most likely mechanism for transmission.
