MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A filtering problem in a medical laboratory was at the heart of an infection outbreak in six Alabama hospitals where nine patients died and 10 others were sickened after receiving intravenous feeding bags contaminated with bacteria, health officials said Thursday.
Investigators found bacteria on a faucet and some equipment at the Meds IV lab, said Dr. Donald Williamson, director of the Alabama Department of Public Health. The company has since closed.
