An outbreak of group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal infections involving three parturients, three newborns, and a nursery RN is reported. Six of six organisms available for serotyping were M-untypable, T-11, serum opacity reaction-negative. Propagation of the outbreak may have been fostered by the common use of a single sitz bath, although the evidence to support this is weak. The outbreak was rapidly controlled via strict cohorting, appropriate treatment and isolation of cases, and the routine use of triple dye for umbilical cord care.
据报告，一起A组β溶血性链球菌感染暴发事件涉及三名产妇、三名新生儿和一名新生儿重症监护室护士。可用于血清分型的六种菌株中有六种无法进行M分型，T-11型，血清混浊反应阴性。尽管支持这一点的证据不足，但单一坐浴的普遍使用可能助长了疫情的传播。通过严格分组、对病例进行适当治疗和隔离以及常规使用三联染料进行脐带护理，疫情得到了迅速控制。
