Hi Bonnie,
Nice to see you around )

I hate it when I don't understand what something means, especially
when it concerns my cat's. Would you mind explaining what a
Pseudomonas is please?

I can see that it has something to do with being antibiotic resistant,
but I still don't understand the term itself.. I would be most
grateful if you could enlighten me please?
TIA,

Hey Sheelagh! Good to see you posting, too. I've been lurking but have
been pretty busy.

Pseudomonas are a type of bacteria that are commonly in the environment.
They are very resistant to antibiotics--only certain antibiotics will work
and sometimes patients undergoing treatment for Pseudomonas have to be given
higher doses than normally done. An antibiotic sensitivity involves using
various antibodies at different dosages mixed with a solution of the
bacteria and seeing which dose of various antibiotics works best to keep the
bacteria from growing.

Hope this makes sense!

Take care and have fun with all your fuzzy masters!

Bonnie
