iStock/Thinkstock(CHEVERLY, Md.) – The neonatal intensive care unit of Prince George’s Hospital Center, located about 11 miles from Washington, D.C., is closed once again after two infants tested positive for pseudomonas bacteria, sources tell ABC News affiliate WJLA-TV.
Five babies were transferred out to the NICU as authorities continue to investigate. Sources tell WJLA there have been no positive tests of bacteria in the water.
This follows an investigation in August after two babies died at the NICU where pseudomonas bacteria was found in a water pipe. The NICU was shut down following the incident until Oct. 4, when multiple test results came back negative for any bacteria in the water system, sources confirm.
