An outbreak of streptococcal wound sepsis: Contamination of the wound during operation
Copyright policy )An outbreak of streptococcal wound sepsis: Contamination of the wound during operation
A limited epidemic of post-operative wound infections caused by group A betahaemolytic streptococcus occurred on the surgical service of the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal in September of 1973. An occult respiratory infection in an anaesthetist appears to have been the source of this outbreak, which was promptly curbed by appropriate control measures. This report emphasizes the necessity for stringent enforcement of techniques for the prevention of transmission of infection.
