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 ...
Pseudomonas is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the family Pseudomonadaceae in the class Gammaproteobacteria.The 348 members of the genus [2] [3] demonstrate a great deal of metabolic diversity and consequently are able to colonize a wide range of niches. [4]
The type order is the Pseudomonadales, which include the genera Pseudomonas and the nitrogen-fixing Azotobacter, along with many others. Besides being a well-known pathogenic genus, Pseudomonas is also capable of biodegradation of certain materials, like cellulose. [36] The Hydrogenophilalia are thermophilic chemoheterotrophs and autotrophs. [39]
Pseudomonas syringae is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium with polar flagella. As a plant pathogen , it can infect a wide range of species, and exists as over 50 different pathovars , [ 2 ] all of which are available to researchers from international culture collections such as the NCPPB , ICMP , and others.
Pseudomonas can, in rare circumstances, cause community-acquired pneumonias, [39] as well as ventilator-associated pneumonias, being one of the most common agents isolated in several studies. [40] Pyocyanin is a virulence factor of the bacteria and has been known to cause death in C. elegans by oxidative stress .
A number of human pathogens belong to this class, including Yersinia pestis, Vibrio cholerae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and some species of Salmonella. The class also contains plant pathogens such as Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (citrus canker), Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (kiwifruit Psa outbreak), and Xylella ...
Hot tub folliculitis, also called Pseudomonal folliculitis or Pseudomonas aeruginosa folliculitis, is a common type of folliculitis featuring inflammation of hair follicles and surrounding skin. [1]: 272 This condition is caused by an infection of the skin and hair follicles by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Pseudomonas fluorescens is a common Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium. [1] It belongs to the Pseudomonas genus ; 16S rRNA analysis as well as phylogenomic analysis has placed P. fluorescens in the P. fluorescens group within the genus, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] to which it lends its name.
