標題: | Perfusionist-transmitted bacterial mediastinitis in a heart transplant recipient | 作者: | RON-BIN HSU Chen M.-L. SHAN-CHWEN CHANG Ko W.-J. NAI-KUAN CHOU SHOEI-SHEN WANG Chu S.-H. |

He had a history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and prior cardiac surgery. To find the source of nosocomial infection, we cultured nasal swab specimens from all hospital personnel involved in this operation. We used antibiotic sensitivity profiling and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to subtype the involved microorganism. The S. aureus isolates from the patient and the perfusionist were identical to each other and were different from the strains previously found in our hospital. It is almost certain that the S. aureus mediastinitis in this patient was transmitted from the perfusionist. We recommend obtaining cultures from hospital staff members when there is an outbreak of staphylococcal infection. |
