Pseudomonas
From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellnesspedia
A type genus of the family Pseudomonodaceae.
- Pseudomonas is a type of bacteria (germ) that is found commonly in the environment, like in soil and in water.
- Of the many different types of Pseudomonas, the one that most often causes infections in humans is called Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can cause infections in the blood, lungs (pneumonia), or other parts of the body after surgery.
Antibiotic resistance[edit | edit source]
- These bacteria are constantly finding new ways to avoid the effects of the antibiotics used to treat the infections they cause.
- Antibiotic resistance occurs when the germs no longer respond to the antibiotics designed to kill them.
- If they develop resistance to several types of antibiotics, these germs can become multidrug-resistant.
