    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1975 Oct; 141(4):552-4. PubMed ID: 1101420.
    Abstract:
    A university affiliated Veterans Administration Hospital had an increase in the number of serratia isolates. An epidemiologic investigation, including personnel and environmental prevalence study, helped correct errors in technique, management and judgment. A nurse epidemiologist prevented a cluster of infections from becoming an epidemic.
