The present study represents the first application of multilocus sequence typing to retrospectively investigate a suspected outbreak of Candida albicans bloodstream infection cases that occurred in the same hospital ward between July 1987 and October 1991. Results demonstrated that eight bloodstream infections were caused by the same strain, endemic in the ward, over a 4-year period.
本研究首次应用多位点序列分型技术,对1987年7月至1991年10月间在同一医院病房发生的疑似白色念珠菌血流感染病例进行回顾性调查。结果表明,在4年时间里,有8例血流感染是由病房内流行的同一菌株引起的。
