Pseudomonas infection refers to a disease caused by one of the species of the genus ''Pseudomonas''. "Pseudomonas sp. KUMS3" could be considered as an opportunistic pathogen, which can survive on the fish surface or in water or in the gut and may cause disease when unfavorable conditions develop.〔 〕 ''P. aeruginosa'' is an opportunistic human pathogen, most commonly affecting immunocompromised patients, such as those with cystic fibrosis or AIDS. Infection can affect many different parts of the body, but infections typically target the respiratory tract (e.g. patients with CF or those on mechanical ventilation), causing bacterial pneumonia. Treatment of such infections can be difficult due to multiple antibiotic resistance. ''P. oryzihabitans'' can also be a human pathogen, although infections are rare. It can cause peritonitis, endophthalmitis, septicemia and bacteremia. Similar symptoms although also very rare can be seen by infections of ''P. luteola''. ''P. plecoglossicida'' is a fish pathogenic species, causing hemorrhagic ascites in the ayu (''Plecoglossus altivelis''). ''P. anguilliseptica'' is also a fish pathogen. Due to their hemolytic activity, even non-pathogenic species of ''Pseudomonas'' can occasionally become a problem in clinical settings, where they have been known to infect blood transfusions. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pseudomonas infection」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
