PSEUDOMONAS

Pseudomonas is among the most common bacteria found in water and they are therefore encountered fairly frequently in association with burns victims, cancer patients and children with Cystic Fibrosis. Pseudomonas Aeruginosa is the reason why visitors are not allowed to take flowers into a burns ward. The water in vases acts as a reservoir for the infection. Pseudomonas micro organisms produce pigments and toxins which make the pus they produce characteristically blue or yellowish green.
Pseudomonas eats almost any organic chemical they have become popular candidates for industrial and environmental waste disposal. The first patent awarded for genetically engineered bacteria was for a Pseudomonas designed to clean up petroleum spills by eating hydrocarbons.
The Pseudomonas clan are resistant to most forms of commonly used antibiotics. They are frequently sensitive to Gentamyacin and this drug may be given by injection or intravenously should the need arise. A course of Gentamycin must be closely monitored because side effects include damage to both the hearing and the kidneys.
Pseudomonas is one of the good reasons to stay away from hospitals. Hospitals are the places were most antibiotic resistant strains of the organism can be found. Resistant micro organisms live around hospital sinks and toilets. At one hospital in Brisbane, Pseudomonas has been cultured from the antiseptic solution that doctors use to wash their hands prior to surgery. Pseudomonas is another good reason to keep home swimming pools well chlorinated and domestic sinks and toilets free from the appearance of green looking slime.
