The rapid spread of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria among patients in a dedicated coronavirus disease care unit in a Maryland hospital was attributed to factors such as critical illness, high antibiotic use, double occupancy of single rooms, and modified infection prevention practices. Surveillance culturing played a key role in identifying and controlling the outbreak.
We describe rapid spread of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria among patients in dedicated coronavirus disease care units in a hospital in Maryland, USA, during May-June 2020. Critical illness, high antibiotic use, double occupancy of single rooms, and modified infection prevention practices were key contributing factors. Surveillance culturing aided in outbreak recognition and control.
