Using a validated air sampling method we found Acinetobacter baumannii in the air surrounding only 1 of 12 patients known to be colonized or infected with A. baumannii. Patients' closed-circuit ventilator status, frequent air exchanges in patient rooms, and short sampling time may have contributed to this low burden.
通过一种经过验证的空气采样方法,我们在已知被鲍曼不动杆菌定植或感染的12名患者中,仅在1名患者周围的空气中发现了鲍曼不动杆菌。患者的闭路呼吸机状态、病房频繁的空气交换以及较短的采样时间可能导致了这种低负荷情况。
