Is Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Contagious?

Pseudomonas aeruginosa are most often found in moist environments, such as hot tubs and swimming pools, and are spread through hospitals, where they are particularly dangerous. The bacteria can get into many different areas of the body, causing infections in the ears, eyes, lungs and skin. Unfortunately, they are particularly difficult to treat because many strains of the bacteria are resistant to antibiotics.
