Short Business Description
These gram-negative bacilli are widely found in nature. They are especially prevalent in hot tubs and swimming pools due to the fluctuations in temperature and improper sanitation procedures. Some species such as P. aeruginosa and P. flourescens can be opportunistic pathogens to plants, humans, and animals. Disease states may range from mild skin infection and swimmer’s ear to corneal ulceration and vision loss due to microbial keratitis.
