Re[2]: [ORT-L] Outbreak of Enterobacter cloacae	Can't Post

Hello Jeff,

AFAIK nthing was found in personnel. Recent years they routinely have
been using 3(!) pair of gloves.

JB> Scary - let us know what you find out.

To the moment i performed a literature search over the net - for
instance a similar outbreak was caused by i/v soulutions in sealed
bottles (MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY OF A NOSOCOMIAL OUTBREAK DUE TO
Enterobacter cloacae AND Enterobacter agglomerans IN CAMPINAS, SAO
PAULO, BRAZIL / Rev. Inst. Med. trop. S. Paulo 42 (1): 1-7,
January-February, 2000)... I am not sure the bottles have been
cultured in this case and probably no one bottle from the package is
available to the moment.
Alos possible cross transmission is a question...
