PSEUDALERT: A ONE-DAY TEST METHOD FOR P. AERUGINOSA

摘要

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a serious bacterial threat in healthcare settings and it is commonly found at the ends of pipe systems and outlets where it can form a biofilm. Transmission occurs when a patient or healthcare worker touches a contaminated tap or sink. Infection with the bacteria can lead to serious health problems, especially among immunocompromised patients such as the elderly and premature infants, cancer patients or people in burns units.
