If it's a bacteria it's killable with antibiotics (supposedly).

There are a number of different pseudomonas, they all have a second name
after the pseudomonas. The one humans most commonly get is pseudomonas
aeruginosa. It can cause pneumonia. Typically  pseudomonas finds its way to
the upper respiratory tract.

Alex once had a pseudomonas infection in his throat, cleared up with
antibiotics.
