We investigated Bacillus cereus-positive tracheal aspirates from infants on ventilators in a neonatal intensive care unit. Multilocus sequence typing determined a genetic match between strains isolated from samples from a case-patient and from the air flow sensor in the ventilator. Changing the sterilization method for sensors to steam autoclaving stopped transmission.
我们调查了新生儿重症监护病房使用呼吸机的婴儿的阳性蜡样芽胞杆菌气管吸出物。多位点序列分型确定了从病例患者样本和呼吸机气流传感器中分离的菌株之间的基因匹配。将传感器的消毒方法更改为蒸汽高压灭菌停止了传播。
