Short description
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium often causing hospital-acquired infections and being resistant against many antibiotics.
Detailed description
These bacteria live in humid environments and are an important hospital
pathogen and food contaminant. In hospitals they cause, for example, wound infections, infections of the urinary tract, pulmonary infections and
sepsis. People with a weakened
immune system are especially susceptible. Most strains of
Pseudomonas aeruginosa have natural resistances against many antibiotics.
