  2. Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas_aeruginosa

    Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common encapsulated, Gram-negative, aerobic–facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium that can cause disease in plants and animals, including humans.

  3. Pseudomonas infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas_infection

    Pseudomonas infection refers to a disease caused by one of the species of the genus Pseudomonas. P. aeruginosa is a germ found in the environment and it is an opportunistic human pathogen most commonly infecting immunocompromised patients, such as those with cancer, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, [1] severe burns, AIDS, [2] or people who are very ...

  4. Aztreonam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztreonam

    Aztreonam, sold under the brand name Azactam among others, is an antibiotic used primarily to treat infections caused by gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This may include bone infections , endometritis , intra abdominal infections , pneumonia , urinary tract infections , and sepsis . [ 2 ]

  5. Cefiderocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cefiderocol

    It is indicated for the treatment of multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [6] [7] [8] It is given by injection into a vein. [1] Common side effects include diarrhea, infusion site reactions, constipation and rash. [9] Cefiderocol is in the cephalosporin family of medications.

  6. Pseudomonadales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonadales

    Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause chronic opportunistic infections that have become increasingly apparent in immunocompromised patients and the ageing population of industrialised societies. The genome sequences of several pseudomonads have become available in recent years and researchers are beginning to use the data to make new discoveries ...

  7. Otitis externa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otitis_externa

    Pseudomonas is the most common offending pathogen. Diabetes control is also an essential part of treatment. When MOE goes unrecognized and untreated, the infection continues to smolder and over weeks or months can spread deeper into the head and involve the bones of the skull base, constituting skull base osteomyelitis (SBO).

  8. Lipid A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_A

    Chemical structure of lipid A as found in E. coli [1]. Lipid A is a lipid component of an endotoxin held responsible for the toxicity of gram-negative bacteria.It is the innermost of the three regions of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS), also called endotoxin molecule, and its hydrophobic nature allows it to anchor the LPS to the outer membrane. [2]

  9. Pseudomonas quinolone signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas_Quinolone_Signal

    P. aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacteria and opportunistic human pathogen that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in humans. [2] Similar to other bacterial species, P. aeruginosa uses quorum sensing (QS) systems to communicate between cells in a population. [1]
