Is there any way to remember features of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa?

Question

Exams are near and I don't have time to study. I want to be able to atleast write a short notes. Thank you.

Answer 1

Use the mnemonics "**P. AERUGINOSA**"

**P:** Phospholipase C, Pigments (pyocyanin, pyoverdin, fluorescin)
**A:** Aerobic
**E:** Exotoxin A, Exotoxin S, Elastase, Endotoxin
**R:** Rod, Resistance, Recurrent pneumonia
**U:** Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
**G:** Green-blue pigment, Grape like odor
**I:** Iron containing lesion
**N:** Negative gram, Non lactose fermenter, Nosocomial infections
**O:** Oxidase positive
**S:** Slime capsule
**A:** Adherin Pilli

This includes morphologic features, pathogenic determinants, some clinical diseases and lab diagnosis features. Go through the textbook once and then use this to recall the features.
