Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection

Pseudomonas is widely distributed in nature, and there are more than ten species that are pathogenic to humans and animals. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) is the most important in medicine. This bacterium is weakly invasive and is generally considered to be a conditional pathogen. When the body's immune function is impaired or defective, it can cause severe or even fatal infections; patients after surgery or certain treatment operations (tracheotomy, retention of urinary catheters, etc.) are also susceptible to infection with the bacteria, so It is one of the important pathogens in hospital infection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa can infect various system tissues such as blood, breathing, central nervous system, and urinary body, causing a series of lesions.
