A member asked:

My visiting grandpa just tested positive for pseudonoma aeruginosa. i'm 10 weeks pregnant. what precautions should i take to avoid infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wash hands: Pseudomonas infections occur in people with weak immune system and you are not at risk because your grandpa has the infection. The same bacteria are present in tap water in small numbers. You may consult this site for information: https://www.cdc.gov/hai/organisms/pseudomonas.html Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
