Is it possible that pseudomonas found in semen culture be responsible for my prostatitis symptoms? do you consider pseudomonas as dangerous infection?

Possible: If you have prostatitis symptoms and a properly collected specimen of seminal fluid was obtained then this bacteria could be the culprit. Many infections have the potential of being dangerous, and you should be approppriately treated with antibiotics.
