Abstract
kitchen. Toxin producing Bacillus cereus was isolated from faeces of 3/12 (25%) patients and 19/25 (76%) of food handlers, and 35/61 (57%) of food samples from the kitchen. Discussion: This is the first report of a nosocomial outbreak of foodborne B. cereus infection from this region. The importance of appropriate epidemiological and microbiological investigation and public relations management is emphasized, in addition to the need for continuing training of food handlers and rigorous enforcement of food hygiene regulations. Conclusion: This outbreak was the result of many breaches of basic hygiene regulations in a hospital kitchen, despite a recent external quality assurance inspection.
