An epidemiological investigation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in an Intensive Care Neurosurgical Unit has shown that there were epidemic, endemic and endogenous types present simultaneously. These pseudomonads were cultured from purulent sputa postoperatively and sometimes caused systemic disease. The epidemic type was traced to a ventilator and a nebulizer whilst the endemic and endogenous types were not found in environmental sites. Effective decontamination of equipment and the use of bacterial filters where possible are essential in preventing the spread of infection. Staff hygiene remains important, particularly hand washing with antiseptic soap preparations.
对一家神经外科重症监护病房的铜绿假单胞菌进行的流行病学调查显示，同时存在流行型、地方流行型和内源性类型。这些假单胞菌是从术后脓性痰液中培养出来的，有时会引起全身性疾病。流行型可追溯到一台呼吸机和一台雾化器，而地方流行型和内源性类型在环境场所中未被发现。对设备进行有效消毒并尽可能使用细菌过滤器对于预防感染传播至关重要。工作人员的卫生仍然很重要，特别是用抗菌肥皂制剂洗手。
