Laboratory technologists (22%) developed infections with Shigella sonnei. The isolates had the same antibiogram and pulse-field gel electrophoresis pattern as an unknown isolate handled by a laboratory student. Covering faucet handles with paper towels during hand washing in the laboratory was protective. No further cases occurred after the laboratory was cleaned with a phenolic agent and a handle-free faucet was installed.
实验室技术人员(22%)感染了宋内志贺菌。分离株的抗菌谱和脉冲场凝胶电泳图谱与一名实验室学生处理的未知分离株相同。在实验室洗手时用纸巾覆盖水龙头把手具有防护作用。在用酚类消毒剂清洁实验室并安装无把手水龙头后,未再出现病例。
