Hospital infections with pigmented water bacteria.
Two types of cultures normally expected to be sterile, i.e., urine and blood, were chosen for review at a large university hospital. The bacteria isolated from urine cultures during 1966-70 and from blood cultures from 1966-73 are listed. Two organisms, Flavobacterium meningosepticum and Pseudomonas cepacia, were selected for more detailed study and review. The antibiotic susceptibility patterns for these two organisms are presented.
