The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has advised it is aware of Ralstonia pickettii cases in patients across multiple states and territories.

“On 24 November 2023, we took the precautionary measure of initiating a nationwide quarantine for some Interpharma saline products to minimise possible risk to patients,” the TGA said.
