Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen which has caused numerous health care-associated outbreaks particularly in intensive care and burn units. We describe an outbreak in a burn unit where 3 patients were identified as being colonized or infected with carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. A multifaceted approach and rapid implementation of infection prevention measures were effective in identification and removal of potential environmental reservoirs resulting in the prevention of further transmission.
耐碳青霉烯鲍曼不动杆菌是一种机会致病菌，已引发众多与医疗保健相关的疫情，尤其是在重症监护病房和烧伤病房。我们描述了一起发生在烧伤病房的疫情，其中3名患者被确定为定植或感染了耐碳青霉烯鲍曼不动杆菌。一种多方面的方法以及迅速实施的感染预防措施在识别和清除潜在的环境储源方面是有效的，从而防止了进一步传播。
