Characteristics of polyclonal endemicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization in intensive care units. Implications for infection controlM J Bonten
Division of Infectious Diseases, University Hospital Utrecht, The Netherlands
Am J Respir Crit Care Med 160:1212-9. 1999..Endemicity of colonization with P. aeruginosa is characterized by polyclonality, and seems to be maintained by continuous admittance of colonized patients and selection pressure from antibiotics rather than by cross-acquisition...

Departments of Internal Medicine, University Hospital Utrecht, The Netherlands
J Antimicrob Chemother 46:351-62. 2000..As long as the benefits of SDD (better patient survival, reduction in antibiotic use or improved cost-effectiveness) have not been firmly established, the routine use of SDD for mechanically ventilated patients is not advised...
