Is Pseudomonas Bacteria Contagious?

default
Posted on Wed, 30 Sep 2015
Question: Hi doctor, my fiancee had a knee cartilage transplant and got infected by pseudomonas bacteria in her knee.

We kiss a lot, heard it's contagious. Is it true?

If so then can it get transmitted to me by saliva?

Please help!

Thanks XXXX
