An outbreak of Acinetobacter respiratory tract infection resulting from incomplete disinfection of ventilatory equipment.

C Cefai1, J Richards, F K Gould, P McPeake.   

Abstract

An outbreak of multiresistant Acinetobacter anitratus respiratory tract infection occurred over a 30-day-period in six patients admitted to an intensive care unit. Standard precautions failed to curtail the outbreak, which was finally attributed to ineffective disinfection of reusable ventilator tubing.
