Presentation

As for the occurrence of the genes, 100% of the isolates presented the lasR, rhlI and rhlR genes, and 97.5%, presented the lasI gene. In this study nine isolates were not biofilm producers. However, all presented the QS genes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Entire Body System

  • Fever

    Outcome of pseudomonas enteric fever is unpredictable as multiple systemic lethal complications occur abruptly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Tick-borne Rickettsia rickettsii Rocky Mountain spotted fever Rickettsia conorii Boutonneuse fever Rickettsia japonica Japanese spotted fever Rickettsia sibirica North Asian tick typhus Rickettsia australis Queensland tick typhus Rickettsia honei Flinders [en.wikipedia.org]

  • Weakness

    As soon as that opponent sees you are really weak, he comes at you and knocks you down. That's why infection by this bacterium is called an opportunistic infection. [study.com]

    While mortality from the infection varies depending on where the infection is, how soon it is treated and the underlying weakness of the patient, some studies suggest a third of infected patients may die. [bbc.com]

    But for people who are weak or ill, these germs can cause very serious—even deadly—infections in any part of the body. [healthlinkbc.ca]

    It is resistant to high concentrations of salts and dyes, weak antiseptics, and many commonly used antibiotics. • Pseudomonas aeruginosa has a predilection for growth in moist environments, which is probably a reflection of its natural existence in soil [textbookofbacteriology.net]

  • Falling

    For example, someone falling ill with an infection following surgery or treatment in hospital may be more prone to suffering a more serious infection. [legionellacontrol.com]

    “We cannot afford to have newborns falling prey to difficult-to-treat bugs,” says Sumbul Warsi, medical director of the 345-bed hospital and leading paediatrician. [qz.com]

    Based upon change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) % predicted levels at ≥2 yrs after presentation, longitudinal behaviour was characterised as “improvement” (≥10% rise), “decline” (≥10% fall) or “stability”. [erj.ersjournals.com]

    When the proportion of candidate-essential genes falling into each class was compared with the whole genome, several categories were highly over- or underrepresented (Table 2). [pnas.org]

  • Chills

    Symptoms include: chills fever cough with or without sputum production difficulty breathing Skin When this bacterium infects the skin, it most often affects the hair follicles. This is called folliculitis. [healthline.com]

    In the blood: Joint pain and stiffness, fever, chills, and fatigue. Other possible symptoms: A headache, diarrhea, or urinary tract infection. [medicalnewstoday.com]

    A serious infection can cause symptoms of high fever, chills, confusion, and shock. How is an infection treated? Antibiotics are the main treatment. Usually two different kinds are used. [healthlinkbc.ca]

    If you have a high fever, severe shortness of breath, or purulent discharge at the site of possible infection, you are at higher risk of your local Pseudomonas infection becoming more widespread. [verywellhealth.com]

  • Thrombosis

    Impairment of the protein C pathway, detectable by reduced plasma levels of activated protein C (APC), are risk factors for venous thrombosis. Activated protein C maintains clotting homeostasis by regulation of pro-coagulant factors Va and VIIIa. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Eyes

  • Visual Impairment

    For example, post-surgical endophthalmitis is a feared complication which may, even if treated promptly, result in significant visual impairment or even total loss of sight. 4 Eifrig C.W. Scott I.U. Flynn Jr., H.W. Miller D. [journalofhospitalinfection.com]

Skin

  • Skin Rash

    Ear infections, especially in children, and more generalized skin rashes may occur after exposure to inadequately chlorinated hot tubs or swimming pools. Eye infections have occasionally been reported in persons using extended-wear contact lenses. [cdc.gov]

    These include ear infections and skin rashes, especially after exposure to water. Pseudomonas bacteria cause well-known conditions such as hot tub rash, a red and itchy skin rash resulting from contaminated water, and swimmer’s ear. [medicalnewstoday.com]

    Skin rashes can also occur, particularly after exposure to poorly chlorinated hot tubs and swimming pools. [giantmicrobes.com]

  • Erythema

    Other examination findings were ptosis, restriction of eye movements, periorbital erythema, and chemosis. Radiologic studies showed a large, homogenous mass with a thick capsule in the lateral retrobulbar orbit. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    […] subcutaneous nodules, deep abscesses, cellulitis, and fasciitis; in burns, black or violaceous discoloration or eschar Skeletal infections: Local tenderness and a decreased range of motion; neurologic deficits Eye infections: Lid edema, conjunctival erythema [emedicine.medscape.com]
