Intermittent bacteremia is a condition where bacteria are intermittently present in the bloodstream. This can occur during infections or due to certain medical procedures that introduce bacteria into the bloodstream, leading to temporary bacteremia. It is important to identify and treat the underlying cause to prevent complications.
In some cases, bacteremia leads to septic shock, a potentially life-threatening condition
Pseudomonas aeruginosa does not form endospores. In Gram staining, it typically stains gram-negative due to its thin peptidoglycan layer and outer lipid membrane.
Pseudomonas augerinosa, the type species of the genus pseudomonas, measures .5 to .8 micrometers by 1.5 to 3 micrometers.
