摘要：

We experienced contamination by Mycobacterium gordonae of the hospital water of our surgical ward. The contamination was discovered following detection of the organism in operative lung samples, washed with super-oxidized water. Repeated examination of water demonstrated contamination by M. gordonae occurred only in the surgical ward, related to the apparatus for making super-oxidized water. No patients were infected by M. gordonae. After changing the water supply equipment and cleaning the water tubes, M. gordonae in the water disappeared. (C) 2002 The Hospital Infection Society.
