Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: During an environmental investigation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in intensive care units, the liquid hand soap was found to be highly contaminated (up to 8 × 10(5)cfu/g) with this pathogen. It had been used over the previous five months and was probably contaminated during manufacturing. AIM: To evaluate the burden of this contamination on patients by conducting an epidemiological investigation using...
