Pseudomonas infection refers to a disease caused by one of the species of the genus Pseudomonas. P. aeruginosa is a germ found in the environment and it is an opportunistic human pathogen most commonly infecting immunocompromised patients, such as those with cancer, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, [1] severe burns, AIDS, [2] or people who are very ...
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 ...
Pseudomonas is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the family Pseudomonadaceae in the class Gammaproteobacteria. The 313 members of the genus [ 2 ][ 3 ] demonstrate a great deal of metabolic diversity and consequently are able to colonize a wide range of niches. [ 4 ]
Pseudomonas oryzihabitans. Pseudomonas oryzihabitans is a nonfermenting yellow-pigmented, gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that can cause sepsis, peritonitis, endophthalmitis, and bacteremia. [1] It is an opportunistic pathogen of humans and warm-blooded animals that is commonly found in several environmental sources, from soil to rice paddies.
Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a non-motile and non-spore forming, facultatively anaerobic bacterium. [citation needed] It appears primarily as grape-like clusters morphologically, but can also be seen as individual or paired cocci. [10][citation needed] This clustered configuration, as well as the positive catalase test, differentiates ...
Pseudomonas luteola is a Gram-negative, motile aerobe. Its motility is created by multitrichous flagella. They grow as rods of 0.8 μm to 2.5 μm. [2] Colonies produce a yellow-orange pigment. Optimal temperature for growth is 30 °C. Importantly for classification, it grows best on heart infusion agar supplemented with 5% horse blood. [3]
Children are the most likely to be affected. [4] Hot tub folliculitis can be, but is not always, painful and/or itchy. [5] In most cases, the rashes resolve after about 7 to 10 days, only leaving a hyperpigmented lesion that goes away after a few months. Oral antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin may be used to shorten the duration of symptoms. [2 ...
Pseudomonas stutzeri is a Gram-negative soil bacterium that is motile, has a single polar flagellum, and is classified as bacillus, or rod-shaped. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] While this bacterium was first isolated from human spinal fluid, [ 3 ] it has since been found in many different environments due to its various characteristics and metabolic capabilities ...
