Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus sp. are ubiquitous in hospital wastewater discharges. The infections caused by P. aeruginosa become complicated, as they acquire the ability to resist many classes of antibiotics. Some strains of P. aeruginosa has been reported to survive for months on dry surfaces, and it can persist and grow in contaminated antimicrobial handwash containing triclosan, making it a critical concern for hospital staff [5]. Infections with Bacillus sp. are rare, but they are able to produce spores and grow haemolytically on blood agar plates (β-hemolysis). Gram-positive Bacilli can cause many types of infections and are spread to humans in a variety of ways [6,7]. Some of the frequently encountered species include B.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
