These bacteria are constantly looking for new ways to avoid the effects of antibiotics used to treat the infections they cause. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria stop responding to antibiotics designed to kill them. If they develop resistance to various types of antibiotics, these germs can become multi-drug resistant. Who is at risk by Pseudomonas aeruginosa? Those most at risk are hospitalized patients, especially those: On breathing machines (ventilators) With devices such as catheters With wounds from surgery or burns How Pseudomonas aeruginosa is it spread?
