| Summary Information | |
|---|---|
| Morphology,
Staining and Metabolism information at genera level (Pseudomonas) (Classification of bacterial species is an evolving discipline. The information in Wildpro has been carefully referenced to the source material, as far as possible. Readers requiring further clarification should consult the source materials and more recent publications. Classification information in Wildpro will be altered when clear and scientifically endorsed new information regarding taxonomic divisions becomes available to us. This section is currently predominantly used in Wildpro to link different data types and demonstrate inter-relationships. It does not contain detailed information on the bacteria species itself.) |

| Common synonyms | Bacillus of green pus, Pseudomonas pyocyaneus |
| Notes | "It is often a normal component of the skin, mucous membranes and intestine of domestic animals." (B47) "It is ubiquitous in the environment and thrives in wet and poorly aerated environments." (B88) |
| Associated Diseases linked in Wildpro | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| "An organism of relatively low virulence that is frequently the cause of suppurative [usually opportunistic] infections in domestic animals (B47)", particularly in association with burns, corneal damage, wounds, pneumovagina, "heavy and prolonged exposure to antimicrobials (B47)" and other predisposing factors. (B47) (B88) "It causes "green wool" in sheep (B47)", can "cause severe epizootics of respiratory disease [haemorrhagic pneumonia] in mink and chinchillas (B47)" and is often associated with otitis externa in dogs. (B47) (B88) "[It] is particularly common in the intestinal contents of chickens. (B47)" | |||
| Associated Waterfowl Diseases | Pseudomonas Infection | Waterfowl Disease Summary | Opportunistic infection, may be associated with localized skin infection, localized respiratory infection including sinusitis, enteritis and occasionally septicaemia. |
| Waterfowl in which the disease has been recorded. | "Duck" - not specified. | ||
| Salpingitis (Oviduct Infection, Oviduct Inflammation) | Waterfowl Disease Summary | Inflammation of the oviduct, usually associated with infection, sometimes with associated peritonitis. | |
| Waterfowl in which the disease has been recorded. | Domestic ducks and domestic geese | ||
| Antibiotic Use and Resistance | |
|---|---|
| "Most strains found in animal lesions have multiple resistance factors that are commonly mediated by R Factors (B47)." Antibiotic susceptibility tests should be undertaken. (B21) "It should be noted that there are no in vitro tests that predict susceptibility/resistance of isolate from infectious processes that will be treated topically (e.g. the ear)" (B88) | |
| Listed Antibiotics recorded as having efficacy | Antibiotics likely to be
effective include:
(Silver sulfadiazine (1%) has been shown to be very active against multiresistant strains recovered from dos with otitis externa) (B47) |
| Listed Antibiotics recorded as RESISTANCE | Many, including carbenicillin. (B74) |
