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 ...
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 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).
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common bacterial cause of green nail syndrome. Green nail syndrome is caused when the nail is exposed to a bacterial organism, which leads to opportunistic infection. [9] Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the most common cause but not the only one, [10] is frequently found in nature including in water sources, humans, animals ...
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an aerobic, nonfermentative, Gram-negative bacterium.It is an uncommon bacterium and human infection is difficult to treat. [1] Initially classified as Bacterium bookeri, [2] then renamed Pseudomonas maltophilia, S. maltophilia was also grouped in the genus Xanthomonas before eventually becoming the type species of the genus Stenotrophomonas in 1993.
Pseudomonas alliicola (Burkholder 1942) Starr and Burkholder 1942 Burkholderia gladioli is a species of aerobic gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria [ 1 ] that causes disease in both humans and plants. It can also live in symbiosis with plants and fungi [ 2 ] and is found in soil, water, the rhizosphere, and in the microbiome of many animals.
Pseudomonas oryzihabitans, although an uncommon pathogen, is able to cause infections in individuals that usually have compromised immune systems. While most strains of this bacteria do not cause infections, the patients that acquire P. oryzihabitans most likely have an underlying disease, and it spreads while the patients are hospitalized. [5]
