Investigations continue by Italy’s NAS health police into the source of the bacterium that caused the deaths of two preterm infants last week in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Bolzano Hospital. Authorities have detected the bacterium in the nozzles and dispensers of soap used to clean pacifiers and feeding bottles. Investigators are examining multiple hypotheses, though conclusive answers await the completion of laboratory analyses.
