Molecular epidemiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in an intensive care unit.

Epidemiology and infection - 1 Jun 1993

Döring G, Hörz M, Ortelt J, Grupp H, Wolz C

Abstract excerpt

Genotyping was used to analyse Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from sink drains and 15 intubated patients as part of a 3-month prospective study of strain transmission in a medical-surgical intensive care unit. Ninety percent of all washbasin drains were persistently contaminated with several P. aeruginosa genotypes. In 60% (9/15) of the patients, P. aeruginosa colonization or infection was hospital-acquired: P....
