Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a rare cause of community-acquired infection. The source of this organism has usually been inapparent or environmental (ie, contaminated humidifiers). We documented transmission of P aeruginosa leading to cavitary pneumonia and lung abscess from daughter to mother and confirmed the clonal identity of our two patients' isolates using pulsed-field electrophoresis.
