Yes, pseudomonas can and will live on plastic surfaces and metal. That's how most of us got it. From tubing or instruments.
You can use disposable tooth brushes.

So if I use a bedside drinking glass at night for water, I could reinfect if I don’t sterilize it every day, and I can’t use my electric toothbrush…wow this infection is something else! I had no idea. 😱
Thank you. I guess it’s “Dixie cups” and throwaway toothbrushes.
Take care,
Mary🙂
