2010, Journal of InfectionCitation Excerpt :Surveillance studies were only considered if they reported on the clinical features of the individuals and not just microbiological results. We found a total of 42 outbreaks in 39 papers reported from 1980 to 2006.8–45 In the post-antibiotic era, a median of one outbreak was reported per year in the literature.
