Drug Resistance of P. aeruginosa

Introduction

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a type of bacterium that has the ability to develop resistance to antibiotics rather rapidly over several generations. This resistance present in some strains makes P. aeruginosa very difficult to treat once a host, such as a human or other animal, is infected. Adding to its ability to develop drug resistance is its resilience that allows it to thrive in various environments, especially medical environments. It is commonly a hospital-acquired infection, though there is a distinction between its colonization and its infection. br>
