CHICAGO, August 27, 2001 - ������Two women who both had c-sections at a suburban hospital contracted the so-called 'flesh-eating' bacteria.���Hospital officials said the bacteria was spread to the women from a surgical team during the procedure.������Doctors at Evanston hospital confirmed that the women were in fact infected by a member of their own surgical team.������They said there was really no way of preventing the infection because it apparently happened after one of the members of the surgical team passed gas.������On August 1st, a day after the women gave birth at Evanston hospital, they started showing signs that they were infected with a flesh-eating bacteria called Nescrotizing Fasciitis.������“I can't get into specifics too much. It was an individual who was in the operating room at the time of the c-sections,” said the director of infection control, Dr. Thomas Vescio.������At a news conference Monday, Dr. Vescio confirmed both women received c-sections in the same operating room by the same surgical team. Rectal cultures indicated the infected carrier is one member of the surgical team who tested positive for Strep A colonizing in the gut. Doctors said the infected carrier was gowned, masked and had gloves on and it's likely the bacteria became airborne. http://www.asylumnation.com/asylum/_r/showthread/threadid_14944/index.html Chicago’s Channel 5 News team: Two women undergoing C-section births at Evanston Hospital on July 31 received the necrotizing fasciitis bacteria from an OR surgeon when he cut the cheese.
