  • Title: Enteral tube hub as a reservoir for transmissible enteric bacteria.
    Author: Matlow A, Jacobson M, Wray R, Goldman C, Streitenberger L, Freeman R, Kovach D.
    Journal: Am J Infect Control; 2006 Apr; 34(3):131-3. PubMed ID: 16630976.
    Abstract:
    Enteral feeding is a risk factor for cross transmission of microbes. Administration set tubing can be colonized by organisms present in the enteral tube hub; molecular typing has demonstrated genetic relatedness of enteric bacteria isolated from both sites. Strict attention to infection control measures is imperative when handling enteral feed apparatuses.
