Susan Pearson BSc reports on a recent specialist waterborne diseases 'masterclass' held in Nottingham, at which leading experts discussed not only the control of Pseudomonas, but also other problematic waterborne pathogens such as Legionella, the cause of Legionnaires' disease. The Pall Medical-sponsored event provided plenty of 'food for thought' for estates and facilities personnel responsible for hospital water systems, and clearly demonstrated how difficult and persistent a foe organisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Legionella pneumophila, which, if left unchecked, pose significant patient health risks, can be.
苏珊·皮尔逊理学士报道了近期在诺丁汉举办的一次关于水传播疾病的专业“大师班”。在该活动中，顶尖专家不仅讨论了铜绿假单胞菌的控制问题，还探讨了其他有问题的水传播病原体，如军团病的致病菌嗜肺军团菌。由颇尔医疗赞助的此次活动为负责医院供水系统的物业和设施人员提供了诸多“值得思考的内容”，并清楚地表明了诸如铜绿假单胞菌和嗜肺军团菌这类病原体，如果不加以控制，会对患者健康构成重大风险，它们是多么难以对付且顽固。
