Continued transmission of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from a wash hand basin tap in a critical care unit.

The Journal of hospital infection - 1 Sept 2016

Garvey M I, Bradley C W, Tracey J, Oppenheim B

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important nosocomial pathogen, colonizing hospital water supplies including taps and sinks. We report a cluster of P. aeruginosa acquisitions during a period of five months from tap water to patients occupying the same burns single room in a critical care unit. Pseudomonas aeruginosa cultured from clinical isolates from four different patients was indistinguishable from water strains...
