The Authors report the results of the bacteriological researches carried out during an outbreak of gastroenteritis from E. coli O111:B4 having concerned, in 6 months, 40 infants of the pediatric ward at Legnano's Hospital. The researches clearly demonstrate the need for a strict control, particularly in the pediatric and neonatal wards, so as to make possible a swift identification of the gastroenteric syndromes due to E. coli strains which cause enteritis. The gravity of the symptomatology, the likelihood of the infections's spreading within the hospital and the considerable resistance to antibiotics of the strains in question are all factors which make this type of infection one particularly to be feared in hospitals.
作者报告了在一次由大肠杆菌O111:B4引起的肠胃炎暴发期间所进行的细菌学研究结果。此次暴发在6个月内涉及了莱尼亚诺医院儿科病房的40名婴儿。研究清楚地表明有必要进行严格管控，尤其是在儿科和新生儿病房，以便能够迅速识别由引起肠炎的大肠杆菌菌株导致的胃肠综合征。症状的严重性、感染在医院内传播的可能性以及相关菌株对抗生素的相当大的耐药性，所有这些因素都使得这种类型的感染成为医院中特别令人担忧的一种感染。
