During a 10-week period, 11 patients were involved in an outbreak of cross-infection with a non-pigmented strain of Serratia marcescens resistant to sulphonamides, trimethoprim, ampicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, cephalexin, gentamicin, tobramycin, colistin, ticarcillin and kanamycin. The problem was confined to the intensive therapy areas of the hospital. The organism was apparently spread by a nursing sister who harboured it in a paronychial lesion. Prolonged carriage of S. marcescens was demonstrated. Methods of investigation of the outbreak and the measures adopted to terminate it are described.
在为期10周的时间里，11名患者卷入了一起由一株对磺胺类药物、甲氧苄啶、氨苄青霉素、四环素、氯霉素、头孢氨苄、庆大霉素、妥布霉素、黏菌素、替卡西林和卡那霉素耐药的非色素产黏液沙雷菌引起的交叉感染暴发事件。问题局限于医院的重症治疗区域。该病菌显然是由一名护理姐妹传播的，她的甲沟炎病灶中携带了这种病菌。已证实产黏液沙雷菌存在长期携带情况。本文描述了此次暴发事件的调查方法以及为终止暴发所采取的措施。
