The CDC said it “ruled out high-threat sources” including common medical products and tools and municipal water systems.
This is the first outbreak of Elizabethkingia anophelis the CDC investigated. It usually only sees 5 to 10 cases a year of any type of Elizabethkingia in each state, and rarely more than 2 cases at the same time.
There is no evidence of Elizabethkingia in the home or healthcare environments of 11 patients for whom the CDC has conducted extensive environmental sampling. Additional studies are pending.
