Abstract
Pa. aeruginosa has been isolated from a wide variety of environmental sources 1.e., earth, sewage and water. It is unique among human pathogens in that it can infect vertebrates both warm and cold blooded, terrestrial and aquatic, invertebrates including insects as well as plants.
Increasing reports of association of Pa.aeruginosa with various pathological conditions in man and animals and its extra-ordinary resistance to most of the antimicrobial agents make it an important pathogen.
Ps. aeruginosaia reported to be associated in man with various conditions like ear infections, pericarditis, endocarditis, meningitis, septicemia, bronchopneumonia, infant diarrhea, severe urinary tract infections and wound infections. In animals, the organism is reported to cause mastitis and abortion in bovines. It has also been isolated from genital tract of mares. It is reported to cause piglet diarrhea is pigs and pneumonia in goats. The organism has been isolated from respiratory tract of sick and healthy poultry in which it is also reported to cause septicemia.
The natural history of Ps. aeruginosa infection in farm animals and human beings, not being known, the present study was undertaken. It was planned to study the epidemiology of natural infection of Ps. aeruginosa in human beings, goats, pigs and poultry and to elucidate zoonotic significance of this agent.
