pseudomonas aeruginosa
infects sick, immunosuppressed hospitalized patients
resistant to almost every antibiotic
obligate aerobic gram negative rod
pyoverdin and pyocyanin
green and blue pigments synthesized by pseudomonas aeruginosa
-gives color to wound dressing
green and blue pigment on wound dressing with a grape smell
pseudomonas aeruginosa
infections cause by pseudomonas aeruginosa
pneumonia osteomyelitis burn wound infection sepsis - high mortality UTIs endocarditis malignant external otitis corneal infection
cystic fibrosis patients
