    Abstract:
    Two episodes of unexpected and widely spread colonisation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a hospital urged us with a series of measures concerning personnel and environmental hygiene and prophylaxis. We referred on the microbiological researches made on nine stories of the hospital building in which the microorganism settled and the countermeasures were adopted. The isolates proved to have a strong resistance to the various types of disinfectant we used and it was particularly difficult to clean wash-hand-basins and some medical tests. The AA. think that carefully instructing the staff in the hospital on bacterial biology and their channel of diffusion, and on the appropriate measures to avoid and fight them, could give better results compared to those we actually obtain by simply disinfecting the environment.
