Abstract
During a five-week period,Pseudomonas paucimobiliswas isolated from maxillary sinus irrigation washes of four patients who attended an ear, nose and throat clinic. The saline irrigation solution was found to be contaminated with the same organism. Further investigation demonstrated the organism in a majority of hospital sinks surveyed. AlthoughP. paucimobiliswas isolated from clinical specimens, the presence of the organism did not appear to have clinical significance [Infect Control 1981; 2(3): 233-235.]Keywords
