Analysis of transmission pathways of Pseudomonas aeruginosa between patients and tap water outlets.

Critical care medicine - 1 Oct 2002

Reuter Stefan, Sigge Anja, Wiedeck Heidemarie, Trautmann Matthias

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To study the association between infection and faucet contamination in a surgical intensive care unit (SICU). DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: One SICU and 12 peripheral wards. PATIENTS: From 45 patients colonized or infected with P. aeruginosa, 87 positive isolates were collected. INTERVENTIONS: P. aeruginosa also was found in 150 of 259 (58%) tap water samples taken from patient rooms....
