In hospitals, P. Aeruginosa can cause localized or generalized infections. Localized lesions are common in wound and bedsores The pre-eminent role of P. aeruginosa in hospital infection is due to its resistance to common antibiotics and antiseptics, and its ability to establish itself widely in the hospital.

Equipment such as respiratory and endoscopes, Catheters etc can lead to infections. Ref: Ananthanarayan& Paniker&;s textbook of microbiology, 9th edition. Pg no.315
