Pseudomonas
Pseudomonas in stool refers to the presence of bacteria from the Pseudomonas genus, most commonly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, in the gastrointestinal tract. While it is not usually a common gut resident, it can cause infection or overgrowth, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems. Its detection may indicate an imbalance in gut microbiota or an underlying condition, particularly if gastrointestinal symptoms are present.
