Source Investigation and Control of Ralstonia mannitolilytica Bacteremia in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Case Report

ABSTRACT

A case of persistent Ralstonia mannitolilytica bacteremia in the neonatal intensive care unit prompted source investigation due to its rarity. After an extensive investigation, a contaminated ultrasonic nebulizer was identified as the source, and the infection was controlled by removing the source. This study emphasizes the importance of further investigations, even in single cases of rare pathogens.
