Abstract
There have been 38 cases of the emerging nosocomial B. cepacia infection in our hospital in the period from September 2012 to February 2014. There was no case reported in the records before September 2012. Infections caused by B. cepacia should be made aware of and taken seriously because of its high transmissibility, intrinsic resistance to antibiotics, high mortality and most importantly its sensitivity to simple antibiotics such as Cotrimoxazole.
