    Author: Orsi GB, Villari P, Mondillo V, Fabiani M, Marzuillo C, Penni A, Venditti M.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2006; 38(11-12):1085-8. PubMed ID: 17148082.
    Abstract:
    Nine patients developed P. aeruginosa bloodstream infection (BSI) in a neurosurgical intensive care unit (NSICU) during a 2-month period. Environmental strains were isolated from a plasma-expander solution and tap water. All clinical and plasma-expander strains displayed the same PFGE pattern, whereas the water strains were unrelated to the outbreak.
