Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Think twice next when you visit with a bunch of flowers to meet your pal admitted in a hospital. Flowers are an excellent source of a bug call Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This bug is a cause of major infections that occur in patients especially in hospital setup. These are also called as hospital acquired infections or nosocomial infections. So the bug you carry in flowers will definitely affect the other patients in the hospital if not your own pal especially if the setup is ICU where immunity of the critical patients is usually compromised.
