Title: An outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in a COVID-19 dedicated hospital Cord-id: adki3xpt Document date: 2021_1_9
ID: adki3xpt
Snippet: We describe an outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in a COVID-19 dedicated hospital. The suspected mechanism of transfer was an environmental source that persisted despite evacuation and terminal cleaning of the entire hospital, and transmitted through healthcare workers’ hands or equipment. This outbreak demonstrates that practices to prevent the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms must not be neglected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
