Explanation

Pseudomonas is a type of bacteria that can cause various types of infections. It is commonly found in the environment like soil, water, and plants, but it can also live in humans without causing any harm. However, in people with weakened immune systems or those with certain health conditions, it can cause serious infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and skin infections. It is known for its resistance to many antibiotics, which makes infections caused by Pseudomonas difficult to treat.
