Background: Neonates are very susceptible to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Aim: To describe a P. aeruginosa outbreak in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and understand the underlying individual risk factors for colonization or infection, using a case-case-control design. Methods: Microbiological studies were done routinely in our neonates to identify and instigate contact precautions if P. aeruginosa was present. If found, a search was made for possible environmental reservoirs and Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was run on all isolated P. aeruginosa. We divided our children into two cohorts, (with and without this microorganism). Finally we designed a case-case-control study to evaluate predictive factors in those infants colonized or infected by P. aeruginosa. Results: .. View More»
