Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a type of bacteria commonly found in soil, water, and hospital environments. While it doesn't usually cause problems in healthy people, it can lead to infections in those with weakened immune systems or with open wounds. It often affects the lungs, skin, and other areas, especially in conditions like cystic fibrosis or burn injuries. Pseudomonas is known for its resistance to many antibiotics, making infections challenging to treat. Proper hygiene and infection control are important strategies to prevent its spread and protect vulnerable individuals.
