Abstract

Although outbreaks of infections with pseudomonas aeruginosa pseu extra-mural have been described, this germ is not pathogenic in the immune competent host. For against, it is a major agent of nosocomial infections, especially in the ICU, where he is responsible for pneumonia, urinary or skin infections and bacteremia. Some studies show that nosocomial infections due to pseudomonas aeruginosa are associated with shorter hospital stays and higher mortality than infections due to other germs.

pseudomonas aeruginosa can be part of physiological flora of humans, especially in the skin, particularly of the nasopharynx and stool from 2.6 to 24% of people examined. At the hospital, patients may also colonize from exogenous sources, including from other patients colonized or infected. In this case, the germs are probably transmitted primarily through the hands of personnel. infections pseudomonas aeruginosa are sometimes in the form of outbreaks.
