I am currently researching the literature on Pseudomonas aeruginosa for my next paper. Therefore, I thought I’d compile some facts about P. aeruginosa and list ways of controlling this ‘superbug’ in water systems. As I’m sure people involved in infection control in hospitals know well, P. aeruginosa is present in hospitals environment. It is dangerous […]
What Is Pseudomonas Aeruginosa? Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common biofilm-forming Gram-negative bacterium often found in soil and ground water. It can cause diseases especially of the lungs, including pneumonia. Nevertheless, it is an opportunistic pathogen which can cause a wide range of infections in almost any organ or tissue, particularly in patients with a weakened immune system, […]
