Abstract: Conditions in commercial whirlpool baths were investigated and populations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa surveyed. Conditions generally favored growth, and P. aeruginosa was demonstrated in 62.5% of 24 samples of bath waters surveyed. Serotype 11, implicated in outbreaks of skin rash among bathers at whirlpool baths, was demonstrated most frequently, being isolated from 30% of the 24 survey samples, and from 70% of 20 additional samples from a single bath sampled on two days.
