Pseudomonas

Elevated levels of Pseudomonas species may occur in inflammation of the intestine. Elevated levels can lead to diarrhea and loose stool.

Testing for Pseudomonas in stool is beneficial for those with persistent gastrointestinal issues, especially if immunocompromised or after a recent hospital stay. This includes patients with chronic gut diseases, those who have undergone recent antibiotic therapy, and individuals with a history of hospital-acquired infections.

• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pain
• Nausea or vomiting
• Possible fever if the infection is severe

• Compromised immune system
• Recent antibiotic use disrupting gut flora
• Hospitalization, particularly in intensive care units
• Chronic gastrointestinal disorders
