Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Small Regulatory RNAs

  • Chapter

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (family Pseudomonaceae) is a Gram-negative, rod shaped, aerobic, motile bacterium, which is known for its ability to survive in many habitats, primarily in water, soil, and vegetation. Being an opportunistic human pathogen, P. aeruginosa is the most common Gram-negative bacterium found in nosocomial infections. It causes urinary tract infections, respiratory system infections, dermatitis, soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, gastrointestinal infections and a variety of systemic infections, predominantly in immunosuppressed patients. Particularly patients hospitalized with cancer, AIDS, cystic fibrosis and severe burns are prone to P. aeruginosa infections (van Delden and Iglewski 1998).
