P. aeruginosa can often develop resistance to multiple types of antibiotics. It can even sometimes develop resistance during the course of treatment (Lister et al, 2002). The choice on treatment depends on results from testing samples of blood, pus, or tissues. Treatment may involve one or more of the following types of antibiotics: ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, aminoglycosides, cefepime, aztreonam, carbapenems, ticarcillin, ureidopenicillins. Mild skin infections may resolve on their own without treatment. Usually antibiotics are applied topically, taken by mouth, or given intravenously, depending on what system of the body is infected (Cafasso,
