Achromobacter

Achromobacter is a type of bacteria that naturally lives in the environment, such as soil and water. Under certain conditions, it can cause infections, especially in people with weakened immune systems or existing lung conditions like cystic fibrosis. These infections may affect the lungs, blood, or other parts of the body. Achromobacter is known to be resistant to many common antibiotics, making infections difficult to treat. Proper diagnosis and tailored treatment are important to effectively manage infections caused by this bacterium.
