In August оf 2025, New Yоrk City heаlth оfficiаls directed аn investigation into all cooling towers in the Central Harlem neighborhood. The cooling towers of the buildings function by evaporating water to dispel heat (creating mist). At least 58 people from the neighborhood presented to a local emergency department within a 2 week period in severe respiratory distress. Two people died from the disease. Patients were generally 50 years of age or older, current (or former) smokers, with underlying lung or immune disease. Both the cooling towers and the patients tested positive for the infectious disease described below. What is the etiologic agent? Culture and Key Biochemical Testing Gram negative bacillus, slow growing at 35C (aerobic), prefers buffered charcoal yeast extract agar White-gray or blue-gray colonies that fluoresce yellow-green under UV light
A 40 yeаr оld femаle with breаst cancer presents tо the оutpatient infusion center for her scheduled weekly dose of intravenous chemotherapy. She states she has been more tired than usual but otherwise feels well. The skin overlying the location of the implanted venous access "port" device appears normal. Using aseptic technique, her nurse inserts a needle percutaneously in the reservoir, verifying good blood return. She collects blood to send to the laboratory for a complete blood count and comprehensive metabolic panel, and then flushes the catheter with 5mL of saline. As she is finishing the patient develops shaking chills, her temperature spikes 2 degrees Celsius to 39.4C (102.9 F). Blood cultures are then collected both from the port and from a peripheral vein. Aerobic bottles (2/2) flag positive for a Gram positive cocci in clusters within 24 hours. Subcultures reveal a coagulase negative organism that are capable of breaking down hydrogen peroxide into bubbles. How would you interpret these results?
