Pseudomonas aeruginosa joint infection

A *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* joint infection is a severe, destructive form of septic arthritis or periprosthetic joint infection caused by the opportunistic Gram-negative bacillus *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* The condition is characterized clinically by localized joint pain, swelling, erythema, and marked loss of motion, alongside systemic signs of inflammation

A *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* joint infection is a severe, destructive form of septic arthritis or periprosthetic joint infection caused by the opportunistic Gram-negative bacillus *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* Pathophysiologically, the organism's intense inflammatory induction, tissue-destructive virulence factors, and robust capacity for biofilm formation drive rapid articular cartilage degradation, subchondral bone loss, and a high risk of chronic joint damage or prosthetic failure

It primarily affects the musculoskeletal system, most frequently presenting in individuals with prosthetic implants, persons who inject drugs, immunocompromised hosts, or patients who have experienced direct penetrating joint trauma, invasive orthopedic procedures, or bacteremic seeding
