Occurrence of chlorine-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in hospital water systems: threat of waterborne infections for patients
The detection of antimicrobial resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in hospital water systems raises concerns about the potential for infections among hospitalized patients. The implementation of advanced mitigation measures and targeted disinfection methods should be considered to tackle the evolving challenges within hospital water systems.
