Preface

*Pseudomonas aeruginosa* is an opportunistic bacterium associated with a wide range of diseases that is commonly found in soil and water. It is also the leading cause of hospital-acquired infections and is associated with high morbidity and mortality among elderly and/or immunocompromised patients. Therefore, it represents a great challenge for health workers. As such, there are many benefits to be gained from studying these bacteria from biotechnological, industrial, environmental, and medical aspects. This book, Pseudomonas aeruginosa *– New Perspectives and Applications*, is an edited collection of reviewed and relevant research chapters on *P. aeruginosa*, which has significant implications for industry, medicine, and the environment. The book includes scientific contributions from various authors, edited by a group of experts in immunology and microbiology. Each contribution is a completely separate

chapter in itself but is directly linked to the themes and aims of the book.
