Molecular strain typing by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis was used to investigate a cluster of four Nocardia asteroides isolates associated with the BACTEC 460 TB system. An instrument motor drive misalignment resulted in inadequate needle sterilization and cross-contamination of BACTEC vials. This pseudo-outbreak illustrates the importance of proper BACTEC 460 needle sterilization and maintenance and confirms the usefulness of molecular typing methods for epidemiologic investigations.
