Özet

An outbreak investigation was initiated after detecting an increase in the number of patients with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bloodstream infections (SM-BSIs) througout the hospital. S. maltophilia was isolated from the cultures of blood-gas injectors containing liquid heparin. The incidence density of SM-BSIs decreased significantly after prohibiting the use of those injectors.
