Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen commonly found in hospital water systems. Antibiotic resistant, it can be responsible for respiratory, blood, heart, gastrointestinal, and urinary tract infections in immunocompromised patients. Detecting a P. aeruginosa contamination quickly is the key to an effective response.
