An <i>Escherichia coli</i> pseudo-outbreak in the intensive care units of a university hospital
By strictly adhering to the latest protocols, the disinfection and sterilization chain can ensure the safe use of both invasive and non-invasive medical equipment. This manuscript aims to raise awareness among pediatricians and pediatric infectious disease specialists regarding the occurrence of pseudo-outbreaks. A pseudo-outbreak is indicative of a disruption in the sterilization chain.
