Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria found in a variety of habitats, including soil, water, and plants. It is a common cause of many diseases in humans, particularly in those with weakened immune systems, and is often found in hospitals due to its resistance to antibiotics. Its significance lies in its ability to cause a broad range of infections, from wound infections and burn infections, to chronic infections such as cystic fibrosis and pneumonia. With its increased resistance to many antibiotics, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important indicator organism for the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and is actively studied for potential treatments.
