Outbreak of Shigella sonnei in a clinical microbiology laboratory.

L A Mermel1, S L Josephson, J Dempsey, S Parenteau, C Perry, N Magill.   

Abstract

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.
