Résumé

We investigated temporal clusters of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cases between 2005 and 2014 in 1 French university hospital, overall and by ward, using the Kulldorff method. Clusters of positive water samples were also investigated at the whole hospital level. Our results suggest that water outlets are not closely involved in the occurrence of clusters of P aeruginosa cases.
