Abstract
From the kitchen to the mist therapy unit, the hospital provides numerous ecologic niches for this pathogen, as well as a high concentration of appropriate human hosts. Although P. aeruginosa is still the major troublemaker, P. cepacia is increasing in importance; it can grow even in disinfectants. The role of in-house epidemiology in controlling outbreaks of pseudomonas infection is spelled out.Keywords
