Water beds - a potential source of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

K M Elhag, R M Baird, E J Shaw.   

Abstract

Water beds in use in this hospital were found to be contaminated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The addition of sodium hypochlorite, giving a final concentration of 200 parts/10(6) available chlorine, was found to be effective in preventing microbial contamination over a 6-month study period.
