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 ...
The risk of contracting P. aeruginosa can be reduced by avoiding pools, hot tubs, and other bodies of standing water; regularly disinfecting and/or replacing equipment that regularly encounters moisture (such as contact lens equipment and solutions); and washing one's hands often (which is protective against many other pathogens as well).
The bacterium is commonly found in poorly-maintained recreational water sources such as hot tubs, water slides, and swimming pools. [2] Hot tub folliculitis appears on the skin in the form of a rash , roughly resembling chicken pox and then develops further to appear as a pimple . [ 3 ]
The company noted that an internal investigation found "the potential presence of elevated levels of bacteria," including "multiple different species of Pseudomonas," in some of its products ...
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 is a nonfermenting yellow-pigmented, gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that can cause sepsis, peritonitis, endophthalmitis, and bacteremia. [1] It is an opportunistic pathogen of humans and warm-blooded animals that is commonly found in several environmental sources, from soil to rice paddies.
Pseudomonas stutzeri is a Gram-negative soil bacterium that is motile, has a single polar flagellum, and is classified as bacillus, or rod-shaped. [1] [2] While this bacterium was first isolated from human spinal fluid, [3] it has since been found in many different environments due to its various characteristics and metabolic capabilities. [4]
Pseudomonas is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the family Pseudomonadaceae in the class Gammaproteobacteria.The 313 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]
