Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an aerobic microorganism that is a motile, Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria distributed throughout different habitats in the world. It has an absolute aerobic metabolism and thus, gives a positive oxidase reaction. P. aeruginosa is the unique species of this genus which is often used as the type species for the genus. It is a unique species of this genus that has not only all the general properties of the members of the genus but also some relatively uncommon ... Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative rod. Pseudomonas aeruginosa can resist high concentrations of salt, dyes, weak antiseptics, and many commonly used antibiotics. Most pseudomonads known to cause disease in humans are associated with opportunistic infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas maltophila are mostly responsible for disease conditions. Characteristics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa This opportunistic pathogen may infect virtually any tissue. Infection is facilitated by ... Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Petri dish Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common encapsulated, Gram-negative, aerobic – facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium that can cause disease in plants and animals, including humans. [1][2] A species of considerable medical importance, P. aeruginosa is a multidrug resistant pathogen recognized for its ubiquity, its intrinsically advanced antibiotic resistance mechanisms, and its association with serious illnesses – hospital-acquired infections such ... Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacteriu m that is widely distributed in nature and is known for its versatility and adaptability. It is an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing infections in humans, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems or underlying medical conditions. P. aeruginosa is often associated with nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in healthcare settings. Fig. Pseudomonas aeruginosa non ...
