Thirty-nine isolates of multidrugresistant P. aeruginosa (resistant to ceftazidime and at least three of the agents listed above) recovered from various clinical samples of three patients in an intensive care burn unit, and seven preserved isolates recovered from six patients in other medical wards at National Taiwan University Hospital were studied for their epidemiological relatedness. The epidemic could be attributed to a multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa clone belonging to serogroup O:F (serogroup O:4) by means of antimicrobial susceptibility, O-serogrouping, and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) patterns generated by arbitrarily primed PCR (APPCR) of the isolates. The epidemic strain persisted in the three patients for weeks to months; in the meanwhile these patients had received multiple antimicrobial agents for management of intervenient episodes of invasive infections (bacteremia, ventilatorassociated pneumonia, and/or catheter-related sepsis) caused by this strain, as well as concomitant infections due to other organisms. The strain had been isolated only once previously from a burn patient of the unit in December 1996. The present study describing a small outbreak due to P. aeruginosa documents that a single clone of multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa can cause long-term persistence in different body sites of burn patients and subsequently result in various severe infections. |
