Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 July 2021
Abstract
We describe the follow-up investigation of an outbreak of endophthalmitis due to Burkholderia contaminans following cataract surgery in a single clinic. Whole-genome sequence analysis of bacteria recovered from affected patients and the clinic identified the clinic’s ventilation system as the source of infection.
