Microbiological examinations of mouth-cleaning, cooling, and turbine spray waters from various types of dental units showed different degrees of water contamination. The detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, because of the classification of this organism as a "problem germ", indicates the necessity for a more critical analysis of water used in stomatology including the elimination of possible sources of contamination.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008837	Micrococcus	A genus of gram-positive, spherical bacteria found in soils and fresh water, and frequently on the skin of man and other animals.
D011550	Pseudomonas aeruginosa	A species of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria commonly isolated from clinical specimens (wound, burn, and urinary tract infections). It is also found widely distributed in soil and water. P. aeruginosa is a major agent of nosocomial infection.
