Question

QUESTION 13 Through the microscope, these bacteria appear as Gram-negative bacillus possessing a monotrichous arrangement of flagella. A ubiquitous bacterium found in soil, water, vegetation, decaying organic matter, throughout the hospital environment, and frequently carried in the respiratory and intestinal tracts of hospitalized patients and immunocompromized hosts, this bacterium causes a variety of opportunistic infections including urinary tract infections, wound infections, pneumonia, and septicemia. This organism is also a significant cause of burn infection and also colonizes and chronically infects the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis. It is responsible for 12 percent of hospital-acquired urinary tract infections, 16 percent of nosocomial pneumonia cases, and 10 percent of the cases of septicemia. Pseudomonas aeruginosa Helicobacter pylori Escherichia coli Salmonella species

Answer 1

Option A is correct

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is member of the Gamma Proteobacteria class of Bacteria. It is a Gram-negative, aerobic rod belonging to the bacterial family Pseudomonadaceae.

Because Pseudomonas, the one that most often causes infections in humans is called Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can cause infections in the blood, lungs (pneumonia), or other parts of the body after surgery.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes urinary tract infections, respiratory system infections, dermatitis, soft tissue infections, bacteremia, bone and joint infections, gastrointestinal infections
