Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Outbreaks of urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to contaminated ureteroscopes have been rarely reported. AIM: To report such an outbreak at a regional teaching hospital in southern Taiwan. METHODS: From October to December 2010, ertapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae were identified from urine cultures of 15 patients who had undergone ureteroscopy prior to the infection. Three batches of...
