Nosocomial transmission clusters and risk factors in Moraxella catarrhalis.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Apr 2009

Levy F, Leman S C, Sarubbi F A, Walker E S

Abstract excerpt

We report an objective examination of nosocomial transmission events derived from long-term (10-year) data from a single medical centre. Cluster analysis, based on the temporal proximity of genetically identical isolates of the respiratory pathogen Moraxella catarrhalis, identified 40 transmission events involving 33 of the 52 genotypes represented by multiple isolates. There was no evidence of highly...
