Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection

A *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* infection is an opportunistic bacterial illness caused by the aerobic, Gram-negative rod *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, primarily manifesting as healthcare-associated pneumonia, urinary tract infections, bloodstream infections, or surgical and burn wound infections While it can occasionally cause localized conditions in healthy individuals, it predominantly affects hospitalized, immunocompromised, or critically ill patients, as well as individuals with structural lung disea...

While it can occasionally cause localized conditions in healthy individuals, it predominantly affects hospitalized, immunocompromised, or critically ill patients, as well as individuals with structural lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis Pathophysiologically, the organism employs an array of virulence mechanisms—including flagellar motility, type III secretion systems, and potent exotoxins—along with a pronounced capacity for biofilm formation and intrinsic or acquired multid...
