| Popis: | This report describes an outbreak caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a neonatal care unit possibly linked to feeding bottles heaters. Infection control measures were undertaken such as reinforcement of contact isolation precautions, environmental microbiologic sampling, educational sessions on hand hygiene, and use of sterilized water to refill feeding bottles heaters. The sustained eradication of P aeruginosa isolates after implementing control measures on feeding bottles heaters strongly suggests those as the source of the outbreak. |
