AB - Streptococcus pneumoniae infections arising in hospitalized patients are often assumed to be sporadic, and linked to community carriage. Here, whole genome sequencing was used to demonstrate nosocomial acquisition of antimicrobially-resistant ST156-9V S. pneumoniae in 3 respiratory patients resulting in two bacteremias and one lower respiratory tract infection. Two of the cases arose in patients who had recently been discharged from hospital and were re-admitted from the community. Nosocomial spread was suspected solely because of a highly unusual resistance pattern and case presentations within 24h of one another. The outbreak highlights a potential for rapid transmission and short incubation period in the respiratory ward setting.
