From March 19 to April 2, 1982, six cases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, serotype 0:10, in­ fection occurred following common exposure to a hot tub in Orange County, North Carolina. Clinical illness included severe hemorrhagic external otitis, which, although commonly asso­ ciated with swimming pools, has not been previously reported in the literature for whirlpool/spa settings. Among 24 members of...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important agent of opportunistic infection in aquatic environments. Our aim was to evaluate the occurrence and antimicrobial resistance of P. aeruginosa in the water of swimming pools in northern Greece. Water samples were obtained from hydrotherapy pools, jacuzzis/spas and swimming pools. A total of 16.6% (45/271) of the samples were positive for P. aeruginosa. Of ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth performance responses and liver trace mineral status newly weaned steer calves offered a low-moisture, molasses-based block “stress tub” containing organic sources minerals Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation culture during first 21-d 42-d feedlot receiving phase. Newly weaned, single source Charolais x Angus (n = 46; body weight [BW] 240...

Hot tub baths have become increasingly common in residences as well as hotels and spa facilities. Recently, such baths have been associated with an emerging disorder known as hot tub lung (HTL). HTL is a diffuse granulomatous lung disease caused by inhalation of water aerosol containing non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), in most cases belonging to the Mycobacterium avium complex [1]. Here, we ...

abstract to determine the effects of different levels of drought stress on yield and yield components of corn hybrids as well as to determine the correlation between the characteristic and yield in different level of stress a experimental study was done in split plot with 15 corn hybrids placed in gharakheil. the main plot was contained different levels of stress(a1:irrigation after 50mm evapor...

We describe a case of severe necrotizing pneumonia due to community-acquired Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cultures of fluid obtained from the filter of the patient's hot tub grew the same P. aeruginosa strain as that grown from culture of the patient's sputum. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines should be strictly followed for hot tub maintenance to prevent P. aeruginosa overgrowth...
