Persistence of a specific pseudomonas infection in a large general hospital.
Of at least 37 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa distinguishable by their pyocine production, Type 10 is noteworthy for its relative rarity and its virulence to man. Opportunistic infections by this organism occurring in a single hospital over 8 years are described, and its ecology discussed with reference to its possible control.
