Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (P. Pyocyanea)

A species of gram-negative bacteria that has been isolated from wounds, burns, and infections of the urinary tract and that is noted for resistance to disinfectants and antibiotics. The bacilli cause a range of human diseases from MENINGITIS to hospital acquired wound infections and can cause life threatening lung infections in children with cystic fibrosis.
