Abstract

In December 2008, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples obtained from 3 patients were positive forBurkholderia cepaciacomplex on culture. Samples obtained from bronchoscopes and rinse-water samples obtained from the washer-disinfector were found to be positive forB. cepaciacomplex. The cause of this pseudo-outbreak was that the washer-disinfector was installed without the required antibacterial filter.
