What is 1257. Assessing Risk Factors for an Outbreak of Burkholderia cenocepacia in Non-cystic Fibrosis (CF) Patients about?
## Abstract ## Background __Burkholderia__ spp. have been associated with outbreaks of healthcare-associated infections in non-CF patients, mostly attributable to point sources of contaminated solutions or medications. Fewer non-point source outbreaks have been described. ## Methods We conducted a matched case:control (1:3) study to assess risk factors for __B. cenocepacia__ during an outbreak that occurred in 2017 in a 738-bed university-affiliated hospital involving patients hospitalized on several ICUs and non-ICUs. Clinical isolates identified as __B. cepacia__ complex were speciated using sequencing of the __recA__ allele and genotyped by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Case subjects were patients with a positive culture for the __B. cenocepacia__ outbreak strain (PFGE pattern 17-A, __recA__ 365) from June 1–December 31, 2017. Control subjects had negative respiratory cultures for __Burkholderia__ spp. within 10 days of respective cases’ culture dates and were hospitalized on the same unit at the same time as respective cases. Potential risk factors including procedures, devices, and medications (previously linked to point source outbreaks) were examined. A 5-day expo
