Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most commonly considered gram-negative aerobic bacilli in the differential diagnosis of gram-negative infections. Consideration of this organism is important because it causes severe and often fatal hospital-acquired infections, especially in immunocompromised hosts.

2023年7月21日 · A Pseudomonas infection develops when Pseudomonas bacteria enter your body. Symptoms depend on the infection’s location. Treatment usually includes antibiotics.

2023年4月21日 · Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is a common gram-negative aerobic bacilli bacterial infection in chronic wounds. 1 PA is often present in soil, water, humans, and on the surface of medical devices, plants, and animals. 2,3 PA is an opportunistic infection that can cause serious disease.

Infections of the skin or soft tissues by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Pseudomonas spp. range from superficial discolourations to serious and life-threatening because these bacteria are invasive and toxigenic.

PA infection is a common occurrence in chronic wounds and is more fatal than other bacterial infections if left undetected or inappropriately treated . In this study, we show that fluorescence imaging can rapidly detect PA in chronic wounds.

2024年4月24日 · Learn about Pseudomonas infections and how to effectively manage them for optimal wound healing. Discover the best practices and treatment options to prevent complications and promote faster recovery.

2024年4月11日 · Patients in healthcare settings are at highest risk, especially those who: Are on breathing machines (ventilators). Have devices such as catheters. Have open wounds from surgery or burns. Contact with contaminated surfaces or equipment. Exposure in the soil or water. Person-to-person contact, like from contaminated hands.

2025年1月5日 · Your risk of a pseudomonas infection is higher if you: Have an open wound from surgery; Are being treated for burns; Use a breathing machine, catheter, or any other medical device; Have diabetes

Based on the presence of risk factors for MDR/XDR infections and local epidemiology, where large proportions of strains are resistant to classic beta-lactams, the recommended empirical treatment for suspected P. aeruginosa infections is based on ceftolozane-tazobactam or ceftazidime-avibactam.

These bacteria can infect the blood, skin, bones, ears, eyes, urinary tract, heart valves, and lungs, as well as wounds (such as burns, injuries, or wounds made during surgery).
