Phage selection restores antibiotic sensitivity in MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Increasing prevalence and severity of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections has necessitated novel antibacterial strategies. Ideally, new approaches would target bacterial pathogens while exerting selection for reduced pathogenesis when these bacteria inevitably evolve resistance to therapeutic intervention. As an example of such a management strategy, we isolated a lytic bacteriophag...
متن کاملThe retrieval of antibiotic sensitivity by 2- phenoxyethanol adapted-multi drug resistant (MDR) clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
2-Phenoxyethanol (2-PE) is a biocide used as a preservative in pharmaceutical, cosmetic and perfumery formulations. It is known for its rapid bactericidal effect against a wide range of bacteria. In the present study, clinical samples of multi drug resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli were grown in an increasing sub-minimal inhibitory concentration of 2-PE to observe if a...
متن کامل[Antibiotic susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa].
The susceptibility of 128 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa against amikacin, kanamycin, gentamycin, minocycline, colistin, chloramphenicol, claforan , piperacillin and carbenicillin were tested. Piperacillin, carbenicillin, amikacin and claforan are effective against at least 54% of strains tested. The susceptibilities of microorganisms to antibiotics were evaluated in different poin...
متن کاملMechanisms 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 کاملPolyamines increase antibiotic susceptibility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen. Treatment is complicated by frequent acquired resistance to antipseudomonal therapies. Polyamines (cadaverine, putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) are ubiquitous polycationic compounds essential for all living organisms. In a dose-dependent manner, polyamines increased the susceptibility of P. aeruginosa to 14 beta-lactam antibiotics,...
