We describe the features of 13 cases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa folliculitis (eight of which occurred sporadically and five of which resulted from two family outbreaks) that developed subsequent to the use of commercial synthetic sponges for bathing. On the basis of O serogrouping and pyocin typing and subtyping, the strains recovered from the skin lesions were found to be identical to those isolated from household shower water and sponges. P. aeruginosa folliculitis is commonly caused by the serogroup O:11; The serogroups described in this study are rare causative agents of this type of skin infection. We believe that this is the first report of P. aeruginosa folliculitis due to serogroups O:3 and O:16.
我们描述了13例铜绿假单胞菌毛囊炎的特征（其中8例为散发性，5例源于两起家庭聚集性发病），这些病例均在使用商业合成海绵沐浴后出现。基于O血清群分型以及绿脓菌素分型和亚型分析，从皮肤损伤处分离出的菌株与从家庭淋浴水和海绵中分离出的菌株相同。铜绿假单胞菌毛囊炎通常由O:11血清群引起；本研究中描述的血清群是这类皮肤感染的罕见病原体。我们认为这是首例关于O:3和O:16血清群引起的铜绿假单胞菌毛囊炎的报告。
