is a gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore forming rod that is capable of causing a variety of infections in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. Its predilection to cause infections among immunocompromised hosts, extreme versatility, antibiotic resistance, and a wide range of dynamic defenses makes it an extremely challenging organism to treat in modern-day medicine.
它是一种革兰氏阴性、需氧、无芽孢形成的杆菌，能够在免疫功能正常和免疫功能低下的宿主中引起多种感染。它倾向于在免疫功能低下的宿主中引发感染，具有极强的适应性、抗生素耐药性以及广泛多样的防御机制，这使得它在现代医学中成为一种极难治疗的病原体。
