Abstract
1. A small but serious outbreak of Ps. aeruginosa infection in a premature baby ward has been described.2. Heavy contamination of the suction apparatus and tubing was demonstrated to be the main reservoir of infection.3. It was also shown that this apparatus could disseminate the organism as an aerosol.4. The measures adopted to eliminate the source and prevent dissemination of the infectious agent have been described.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
