Rhodotorula rubra was isolated from bronchoscopy specimens from 11 patients. An investigation of the bronchoscopy equipment and the bronchoscopy suite revealed contamination of the suction channel with R rubra, as well as potentially pathogenic bacteria. Disinfection control methods included gas sterilization of the bronchoscope and the institution of an alcohol and air flush through the suction channel to allow complete drying of the scope between each patient use. We have had no further isolates of R rubra from bronchoscopy specimens since these measures were instituted, and repeat cultures from the suction channel have been negative.
深红酵母是从11名患者的支气管镜检查标本中分离出来的。对支气管镜设备和支气管镜检查室的调查发现，吸引通道被深红酵母以及潜在的病原菌污染。消毒控制方法包括对支气管镜进行气体灭菌，以及通过吸引通道进行酒精和空气冲洗，以便在每位患者使用后使支气管镜完全干燥。自采取这些措施以来，我们再也没有从支气管镜检查标本中分离出深红酵母，吸引通道的重复培养结果均为阴性。
