H. Peng: Ralstonia mannitolilytica and COPD: a case report. In: European Respiratory Journal, Band 38, 2011, S. 1482-1483; doi:10.1183/09031936.00046011, PMID 22130767, Epub 30 November 2011. Ralstonia mannitolilytica has been implicated as an opportunistic pathogen in hospital-acquired infections, including a 1976 United Kingdom outbreak due to a contaminated distilled water supply, a 1989 outbreak in Taiwan caused by contaminated 0.9% sodium chloride solution, and a 2005 outbreak in children in the United States that was linked to contaminated Vapotherm respiratory gas humidification devices.
