Pseudomonas aeruginosa: phenotypic flexibility and antimicrobial resistance
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a widespread ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen, is a leading cause of opportunistic infections in humans and is associated with an ever-widening spectrum of infections and multidrug-resistance phenomena. The evolution and spread of antibiotic resistant pathogens has become a threat to public health and strongly affects the effectiveness of most currently available antimi...
متن کاملPhenotypic Detection Of Metallo-beta-lactamase Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains Isolated From Burned Patients
Background and Objective: Metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-mediated resistance is an emerging threat in hospital isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There is not enough information from Iran regarding the prevalence and the screening methods for such enzymes. The present study was undertaken to detect Metallo betalactamase in strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from burned patien...
متن کاملPhenotypic conversion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from cystic fibrosis patients were tested for production of exoenzymes, sensitivity to pooled normal human serum, and colony morphology. Strains isolated from patients exhibiting a severe form of the disease were seen to produce a decreased range of exoenzymes, to show an increase in their serum sensitivity, and to be predominantly mucoid in colonial char...
متن کاملPrc protease promotes mucoidy in mucA mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Mucoid strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that overproduce the exopolysaccharide alginate are a frequent cause of chronic respiratory infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The overproduction of alginate by these strains is often caused by mutations within mucA of the algU mucABCD gene cluster. This gene cluster encodes an extreme stress response system composed of the ECF alternative sigm...
متن کاملBacteriophage and phenotypic variation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm development.
A current question in biofilm research is whether biofilm-specific genetic processes can lead to differentiation in physiology and function among biofilm cells. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, phenotypic variants which exhibit a small-colony phenotype on agar media and a markedly accelerated pattern of biofilm development compared to that of the parental strain are often isolated from biofilms. We g...
