Pseudomonas aeruginosa osteomyelitis

Pseudomonas aeruginosa osteomyelitis is an acute or chronic inflammatory bone infection caused by the opportunistic Gram-negative bacillus Pseudomonas aeruginosa It primarily affects the skeletal system, commonly presenting after puncture wounds through footwear, contiguous spread from diabetic foot ulcers or invasive orthopedic procedures, and hematogenous seeding in vulnerable populations such as people who inject drugs or hospitalized individuals Pathophysiologically, the organism employs rob...
