Characteristics of polyclonal endemicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization in intensive care units. Implications for infection control.

American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine - 1 Oct 1999

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the endemicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in intensive care units (ICUs) through analyses of surveillance cultures (from the rectum, stomach, oropharynx, and trachea; n = 1,089), and clinical cultures (n = 2,393) from 297 consecutive patients. Multiple isolates of P. aeruginosa (n...
