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 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.
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]
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) or carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to the carbapenem class of antibiotics, considered the drugs of last resort for such infections. They are resistant because they produce an enzyme called a carbapenemase that disables the drug molecule.
Yale, 1939[1] Morganella morganii is a species of Gram-negative bacteria. [2] It has a commensal relationship within the intestinal tracts of humans, mammals, and reptiles as normal flora. [2] Although M. morganii has a wide distribution, it is considered an uncommon cause of community-acquired infection, and it is most often encountered in ...
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative, non-motile, encapsulated, lactose - fermenting, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It appears as a mucoid lactose fermenter on MacConkey agar. Although found in the normal flora of the mouth, skin, and intestines, [1] it can cause destructive changes to human and animal lungs if aspirated ...
Pasteurellosis is an infection with a species of the bacterial genus Pasteurella, [1] which is found in humans and other animals. Pasteurella multocida (subspecies P. m. septica and P. m. multocida) is carried in the mouth and respiratory tract of various animals, including pigs. [2] It is a small, Gram-negative bacillus with bipolar staining ...
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 ...
