  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Water faucets on a surgical intensive care ward were examined prospectively as a source of <jats:italic>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</jats:italic> infections.

Over a period of 7 months, 5 (29%) of 17 patients were infected with <jats:italic>P aeruginosa</jats:italic> genotypes also detectable in tap water.</jats:p>
