I have always said that there is potentially, a similar problem from 'Shower Heads' in our showers!

This Pseudomonas is a nasty bacteria, please do read the report in the Daily Mail at the above link.

Maybe an case of the germs are hospital mutating from the cleanign chemicals they use...they tend to do if the place is to clean also....but as for home, I can't stress enough to swab your sink faucets at night before going to bed with household bleach...if you don't want to use that...try distilled  vinegar. Pur you sink sponges in them also...we had an covered small can of water in the restruant we used that for...and it was there all the time and water/bleach changed daily.  Use paper towels and throw them away afterwards to where no one can touch them...it might help. They are rapping our emergency ambulances over here for not being clean enough right now also.. and more germ free. Apparently some tested out with possible infectionous germs in them on thier instruments they use as they take patients to the hospital. Last week with the flooding water here...I went to use an cup and half of water ro make cornbread...from the sink...and it was slightly dirty water...I used my bottled water to make it with instead...day later or so they closed down the city water supply off the Bullrun water system and went to their alternative water system for the city. Just by chance I happened to notice that...and I'm glad that most the water I drink from the house here is heated water for tea or cocoa or coffee. As it is..I'm on anti-biotics for the teeth right now as it is...before I have the dental work on them done.
