NIH researchers detail a six month outbreak of the KPC Klebsiella pneumoniae germ at the NIH Clinical Center in Washington. Sequences of the bug’s DNA showed transmission via sinks and a ventilator, with 6 deaths among 18 infected and spread risk across hospitals nationwide. The study emphasizes fast genome sequencing to map spread and improve infection control.
