Abstract
We describe 2 cases of healthcare-associated Legionnaires' disease in patients in France hospitalized 5 months apart in the same room. Whole-genome sequencing analyses showed that clinical isolates from the patients and isolates from the room's toilet clustered together. Toilet contamination by Legionella pneumophila could lead to a risk for exposure through flushing.
摘要
我们描述了 2 例法国的医源性军团病病例，这 2 例患者相隔 5 个月在同一病房住院。全基因组测序分析显示，来自患者的临床分离株和来自病房厕所的分离株聚集在一起。厕所中嗜肺军团菌的污染可能会导致通过冲洗而暴露于病菌的风险。
