Abstract

Nosocomial outbreaks related to medication contamination are reported world-wide. A sudden increase in cases of Achromobacter spp. bacteremia led to an outbreak investigation in our setting. Line listing and environmental sampling led to identification of contaminated furosemide ampoules as the source. Molecular identification helped in species identification and in this outbreak more than one species was identified. Prompt withdrawal of the contaminated batch of ampoules curtailed the outbreak.
