Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a type of bacterium that is classified as Gram-negative, meaning it has a specific cell wall structure that makes it more resistant to certain antibiotics. This bacterium is known as an opportunistic pathogen, which means it primarily causes infections in individuals whose immune systems are weakened or compromised. It was first discovered in 1882 by a scientist named Gersard, who isolated it from pus found in wounds
In intensive care units (ICUs), Pseudomonas aeruginosa is responsible for up to 16.2% of infections
The organism is remarkably adaptable and is frequently encountered in chronic infections, as well as infections linked to diabetes and burn wounds. Its ability…
