Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a notoriously difficult organism to control with antibiotics or disinfectants1. Recent reports on the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of P. aeruginosa in the UK have highlighted the problem of antibiotic resistance in cystic fibrosis (CF) strains in comparison with other hospital isolates2,3. Table 1 summarizes the current position in which the resistance rates of P. a...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance profiles of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates containing virulence genes
Background: A most common opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is present in both humans and animals and responsible for various nosocomial infections and healthcare settings related infections. Different virulence genes like; oprL (membrane lipoprotein L) and toxA (exotoxin A i.e. ETA) in P. aeruginosa, assist in its pathogenicity, toxicity and contribute to high antibiotic resistanc...
متن کاملDetermining a pattern for antibiotic resistance in clinical isolations of pseudomonas aeruginosa
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen and one of the important factors of hospital infection. It causes many issues such as urinary tract infections, respiratory infection in cystic fibrosis patients, and wound infection in burn patients, septicemia and meningitis. Antibiotic resistance through various mechanisms is one of the challenges for the treatment of pseudomona...
متن کاملmodulation of antibiotic resistance in pseudomonas aeruginosa by zno nanoparticles
background and objectives: bacterial resistance to conventional antibiotics has become a widespread public health prob- lem. the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of zinc oxide nanoparticles (zno nps) on the antibacterial activity of several conventional antibiotics against pseudomonas aeruginosa. materials and methods: zno nps were prepared by solvothermal method and dispersed...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Jamaica.
OBJECTIVE To assess antibiotic resistance in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Jamaica, and to obtain baseline information on the presence of this important pathogen. METHODS A total of 51 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, obtained from 162 clinical specimens from major hospitals and laboratories in seven parishes in Jamaica, were analyzed between May and August 2002. Isolates ...
