Any organism that is capable of infection other organisms and causing the disease is known as a pathogen.
Pseudomonas is a gram-negative bacteria with almost 191 species. It is present in the soil, plants, and water. It is pathogenic and mostly causes infection to humans. The health of the person plays a major role in infection by Pseudomonas. For the person who is sick or has a weakened immune system, pseudomonas infection is severe and generally mild in healthy persons.
