Pseudomonas aeruginosa is well adapted to the hospital setting and can cause a wide array of nosocomial infections that occasionally culminate in recalcitrant outbreaks. In the present study, we describe the first nosocomial outbreak of infection caused by bla(VIM-2)-positive P. aeruginosa in Germany. In November and December 2007, highly resistant P. aeruginosa isolates were recovered from the urine of 11 patients in the Department of Urology of a University Hospital. Bacterial isolates were typed by multilocus sequence typing and screened for known metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) genes by PCR. Environmental sources of transmission were tested for bacterial contamination using surveillance cultures. Furthermore, a matched case-control study was performed in search of medical procedures significantly associated with case status. Typing of recovered isolates confirmed VIM-2 MBL-producing P. aeruginosa of sequence type 175 in all cases. Surveillance cultures did not lead to the identification of an environmental source of the outbreak strain. Case-control analysis revealed retrograde urography as the only exposure significantly associated with case status. The analyses suggest the transmission of a single clone of VIM-2 MBL-producing P. aeruginosa leading to the infection of 11 patients within 47 days. Events in temporal proximity to retrograde urographies appear to have facilitated infection in the majority of cases. Department-specific infection control measures, including reinforced hygiene procedures during retrograde urography, quickly terminated the outbreak.
铜绿假单胞菌适应医院环境,可引起广泛的医院获得性感染,偶尔会导致顽固的暴发流行。在本研究中,我们描述了德国首例 bla(VIM-2)阳性铜绿假单胞菌引起的医院获得性感染暴发。2007 年 11 月和 12 月,在一家大学医院泌尿科的 11 名患者的尿液中分离出高度耐药的铜绿假单胞菌。通过多位点序列分型对细菌分离株进行分型,并通过 PCR 筛选已知的金属β-内酰胺酶 (MBL)基因。使用监测培养物测试了环境传播源的细菌污染情况。此外,还进行了一项匹配病例对照研究,以寻找与病例状态显著相关的医疗程序。回收分离株的分型证实所有病例均为 175 型序列的产 VIM-2 MBL 铜绿假单胞菌。监测培养物未鉴定出暴发菌株的环境来源。病例对照分析显示逆行尿路造影是唯一与病例状态显著相关的暴露因素。分析表明,VIM-2 MBL 产铜绿假单胞菌的单一克隆传播导致 47 天内 11 名患者感染。与逆行尿路造影时间接近的事件似乎促进了大多数情况下的感染。针对特定科室的感染控制措施,包括在逆行尿路造影期间加强卫生程序,迅速终止了暴发。
