Hospital-Associated Transmission of Brucella melitensis outside the Laboratory (http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/21/1/14-1247)

摘要

Brucella melitensis was identified in an aspirate obtained from a patient’s hip joint during a procedure at a hospital in Canada. We conducted an investigation into possible exposures among hospital workers; 1 worker who assisted with the procedure tested positive for B. melitensis . Aerosol-generating procedures performed outside the laboratory may facilitate transmission of this bacterium.
