Abstract:
CDC requests Emergency approval for an outbreak investigation which aims to evaluate the associations between Burkholderia multivorans infections among hospitalized patients and potential exposures to nonsterile ice and water from ice machines to help inform measures to prevent ongoing transmission. CDC will share findings and recommendations with public health and healthcare partners to prevent further spread of B. multivorans infections; findings may also be shared with other relevant stakeholders and/or published in scientific journals to disseminate investigation outcomes.
Emergency Justfication:
CDC has been assisting state and local jurisdictions investigate clusters of B. multivorans infections among patients admitted across four hospitals in two non-contiguous states. The outbreak strain of the bacteria has been identified in environmental samples from ice machines. Molecular analysis has shown that the bacterial strain identified in ice machines is genetically highly similar to the patient isolates. Further investigation revealed that the same brand of ice machine and the same filters, descaling/cleaning, and sanitizing products were used by the four hospitals. Epidemiologic and laboratory evidence suggest the possibility of contaminated nonsterile ice and water from the same brand of ice machines as a common source of exposure. Further investigation is needed to identify the scope of the outbreak and the source of the ice machine contamination. CDC is issuing a national call for cases requesting that public health authorities report cases and clusters of B. multivorans. A case report form was developed by CDC to assist jurisdictions in this effort. Jurisdictions will gather information using this case report form to assist in determining epidemiologic characteristics and risk factors of patients with B. multivorans
