Pseudomonas aeruginosa
This species is another opportunistic pathogen that takes advantage of hospital settings. It can live, even thrive, on most surfaces and is common on most medical equipment, including catheters, on which it often enters the human body. It can grow in diesel and jet fuel and survive temperatures up to 108°F, so fevers donât affect it much. It can live in oxygen, partial oxygen, or no oxygen. It can even live in distilled water in which virtually no nutrients exist. Itâs tough and very, very resistant to antibiotics.
Pseudomonas
can infect nearly any part of the body; all it needs is an opening (which hospitals often give it). It causes pneumonia, septic shock, urinary tract infections, otitis media, gastrointestinal infections, and skin and soft tissue infections. The most common infections are from burns,
