  "abstract": "This paper describes current guidance documents relevant to the management of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and non-tuberculous mycobacteria in hospital water systems. Relevant engineering aspects are highlighted, including interpretation of water testing results. There are increasing reports of healthcare water-related incidents and outbreaks, and this article discusses relevant investigations and control measures for infection control teams involved with the management of these events. Newer concepts, such as drain-related outbreaks and reduced water care, are also discussed.",
