A cluster of isolates isolated from six unique surgical tissue cultures prompted an investigation ultimately identifying a pseudo-outbreak linked to errant laboratory tissue processing with contaminated, nonsterile saline. Timely response and multidisciplinary collaboration led to tangible system-level interventions and avoidance of unnecessary antibiotic exposures.
从六种独特的手术组织培养物中分离出的一组分离株引发了一项调查,最终确定了一起与受污染的非无菌盐水错误的实验室组织处理有关的假性暴发。及时的应对措施和多学科合作带来了切实的系统层面干预,并避免了不必要的抗生素暴露。
