A state inspection has uncovered "major infection control deficiencies" at University Hospital in Newark, N.J., following the death of a premature baby, according to an article on the NJ.com website.
The inspection found issues with "hand hygiene, personal protective equipment and cleanliness" and instigated a "Directed Plan of Correction."
The premature baby was in the hospital's NICU when it contracted the Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria and was transferred to another facility before dying.
Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria is usually found in soil or water and can cause pneumonia or serious blood or wound infections.
