Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important pathogen for susceptible individuals particularly those immunocompromised due to the prolonged use of drugs, noscomial infections, burns, or cancer. In addition, P. aeruginosa infections are high among cystic fibrosis patients. P. aeruginosa presents a unique health concern and challenge for researchers due to its multiple virulence factors and the increasing number of patients developing P. aeruginosa infections. P. aeruginosa produces a variety of toxins and enzymes. The flagellum of P. aeruginosa allows the bacterium to be motile. Motility has enabled the P. aeruginosa bacterium to rapidly colonize the host's body.
The major structural component of …
