Pseudomonas is dangerous?

Blue pus bacillus is a dangerous bacterium, it causes many different types of infections for humans such as intestinal infections, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, attacks on wounds and incisions of the patient. patients and cause severe sepsis.

Green pus bacillus, also known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is an aerobic Gram-negative bacillus, belonging to the genus Pseudomonas, having a small rod shape, standing alone, in pairs or sometimes in chains, and capable of motility. with one or more feathers on one end.
In the natural environment, Pseudomonas aeruginosa can live in soil, in swamps and especially in coastal environments, it survives in conditions that few organisms can tolerate.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is common in hospital environments, can be found in medical equipment, floors, walls, beds, and can be on the hands of healthcare workers. From there, bacteria easily spread, invade patients and cause disease, especially patients with malignancies, leukopenia, immunocompromised patients, burns or using other drugs. long-lasting immunosuppressive drugs. In addition, bacillus can multiply in eye drops, anesthetics, soaps, sinks, resuscitation equipment, fuel, damp places, and even in distilled water.
In the human body, Blue pus bacillus produces a slime layer that resists phagocytosis and most antibiotics.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, when entering the body, can cause urinary tract infections, lower respiratory tract infections, meningitis, endocarditis, otitis media,... Including blood infection, which is an infection. has a very high mortality rate.
Depending on the type of infection caused by bacteria, there are different symptoms.
Blood infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes symptoms such as fever, chills, body aches, mild headache, rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased urination.
Patients with bacilli pneumonia include symptoms such as fever, chills, shortness of breath, cough, sometimes with yellow, green or bloody mucus.
The patient wants to urinate often, when urinating, the patient feels pain, the urine is colored and has an unpleasant smell, these are common symptoms of a urinary tract infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
For open wounds, green pus bacilli will cause the wound to become infected, causing pain, redness, and discharge in the wound. If this infection is left untreated for a long time, the green pus-filled bacilli can enter the bloodstream and cause sepsis in the patient.
For middle ear infections the patient may have symptoms such as ear pain, hearing loss, dizziness and disorientation.

Specimens used to diagnose blue pus bacilli are pus, blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid. These specimens will be cultured in normal medium, if possible, in cetrimid medium, pseudomonas medium. When bacteria grow, select colonies as Gram-stained specimens, determine biological and chemical properties.

Antibiotics are the drug of choice for the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. When prescribing antibiotics, it is necessary to make an antibiotic chart for the patient.
Principles of using antibiotics to treat infections caused by blue pus bacilli:
Should combine a penicillin with activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa such as ticarcillin, piperacillin, mezlocillin with aminoglycoside antibiotics such as tobramycin, amikacin. Or can combine ceftazidim, imipenem and new quinolones such as norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin for treatment. Systemic antibiotics and topical antibacterial drugs can be combined to treat infections caused by blue pus bacilli.

Maintain personal hygiene, houses, soil, domestic water sources,... Ensure the hospital environment is always clean and cool, strictly follow sterilization and periodic sterilization procedures. Follow proper aseptic procedures to avoid hospital-acquired cross-contamination. Victims with severe burns should be placed in an isolation room to minimize contact with potential pathogens.
If you have unusual symptoms, you should be examined and consulted with a specialist.
