In this review we considered the importance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa within the context of One Health Perspective. This pathogen is one of the most popular causative agents of opportunistic and nosocomial infections both in humans and animals. This bacterium poses problem in immunodeficiency humans and animals. Abundance of virulence factors, particular antibiotic resistance mechanisms and biofilm formation ability situates Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the number of the most clinically and epidemiologically important bacteria in the world. We explore the possibilities of human-pet transmission, the prevalence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in dogs and cats, and the challenges facing veterinary medicine in terms of pathogen control.
