| NEJM Perspective: The reports implicate all commonly used antiseptic categories, including alcohol, iodophors, chlorhexidine gluconate, and quaternary ammonium products. Some potentially pathogenic organisms, such as Bacillus cereus, Burkholderia cepacia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Serratia marcescens, have been implicated in more than one outbreak. |
