Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium found throughout the environment in soil and water that is a major opportunistic human pathogen, causing pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and bloodstream infections, especially in people with weakened immune systems. Its clinical importance stems from its broad virulence and its resistance to multiple antibiotics. From the perspective of infection prevention, this organism is a leading cause of healthcare-associated infection and a sentinel for antimicrobial resistance. It thrives in moist hospital environments, colonises medical devices, and forms biofilms that protect it from disinfectants and antibiotics, making surveillance, hygiene, and antimicrobial stewardship essential. Core research themes include resistance mechanisms and monitoring, environmental and water-borne transmission, novel antimicrobial agents, and device-related infection. This journal publishes work touching on several of these aspects, including situational analyses of antimicrobial resistance in health districts, the antibacterial activity of plant extracts and synthesised compounds, bacteriological quality of groundwater, evaluation of bacterial populations in clinical samples, and complications arising from infected implanted devices such as stents.
