Pseudomonas (Pseudomonas aeruginosa)

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a type of bacteria commonly found in the environment, such as soil, water, and plants. It can sometimes cause infections in humans, especially in those with weakened immune systems or open wounds. These infections may affect the lungs, urinary tract, skin, or blood. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known for its resilience and ability to resist many antibiotics, making infections challenging to treat. While it typically doesn't cause problems in healthy individuals, it can be serious in hospitalized or immunocompromised patients, requiring careful medical management.
