Abstract excerpt

This study examined tap water as a source of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a medical intensive care setting. We prospectively screened specimens of patients, tap water and hands of healthcare workers (HCWs) over a six-month period in a 16-bed medical intensive care unit. Molecular relatedness of P. aeruginosa strains was investigated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. A total of 657 tap water samples were collected...
