Investigation of mediastinitis due to coagulase-negative staphylococci after cardiothoracic surgery.
Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol. 2006; (3): 305-7
Six cases of coagulase-negative staphylococcal mediastinitis were identified in the latter half of 1999. A new preoperative cleansing solution was suspected by hospital staff to be a factor in the outbreak. We evaluated this possible risk factor along with other known and suspected surgical site infection risk factors in this case-control study.
