Abstract
Enteral feeding is a risk factor for cross transmission of microbes. Administration set tubing can be colonized by organisms present in the enteral tube hub; molecular typing has demonstrated genetic relatedness of enteric bacteria isolated from both sites. Strict attention to infection control measures is imperative when handling enteral feed apparatuses.
