Pseudo-outbreak of Bordetella bronchiseptica Infection Associated With Contaminated Rabbit Blood Used as a Broth Culture Supplement
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
A cluster of clinical isolates of Bordetella bronchiseptica was identified by microbiology laboratory personnel. A clinical and molecular epidemiologic study determined that this cluster represented a pseudo-outbreak due to bacterial contamination of rabbit blood used as a broth culture supplement. This pseudo-outbreak highlights the importance of quality assurance programs in the laboratory.
