Abstract
Four guests at a ski resort in Vermont reported contracting a characteristic papular, pustular, or vesicular rash after using the resort's whirlpool. Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype 1, bacteriophage type 86, was isolated from a pustule on one patient, water within the whirlpool, and the whirlpool diatomaceous earth filter. This appears to be the first outbreak of dermatitis associated with P. aeruginosa serotype 1. Previous reports of whirlpool-associated dermatitis outbreaks have identified serotype 9 and 11 isolates of P aeruginosa as the causative agents.Entities:
