Abstract
A cluster of serious Escherichia coli infections was identified among patients in a neonatal intensive-care unit. Infection control staff identified the outbreak because they realized that E coli rarely caused infections in this unit. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis confirmed that one strain of E coli was transmitted among patients.
