尽管采取了严格的接触预防措施，并将定植的新生儿及其护理人员聚集在一起，但在我们的新生儿重症监护病房中，万古霉素耐药肠球菌传播的爆发仍持续存在。在进行终末清洁后，发现培养箱中存在新生儿万古霉素耐药肠球菌克隆。传播停止后，聚集的孵化器，这表明针对环境污染的感染控制措施的有效性。
An outbreak of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus transmission in our neonatal intensive care unit persisted despite strict contact precautions and cohorting of colonized neonates and their caregivers. After terminal cleaning was performed, incubators were found to harbor the neonates' clone of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus. Transmission ceased after cohorting of incubators, suggesting the effectiveness of infection control measures targeting environmental contamination.
