Community surveillance enhances Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence during polymicrobial infection.
Most infections result from colonization by more than one microbe. Within such polymicrobial infections, microbes often display synergistic interactions that result in increased disease severity. Although many clinical studies have documented the occurrence of synergy in polymicrobial infections, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. A prominent pathogen in many polymicrobi...
متن کاملInteractions of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus USA300 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Polymicrobial Wound Infection
Understanding the pathology resulting from Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa polymicrobial wound infections is of great importance due to their ubiquitous nature, increasing prevalence, growing resistance to antimicrobial agents, and ability to delay healing. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus USA300 is the leading cause of community-associated bacterial infections resulting in incr...
متن کاملPreferential diaphragmatic weakness during sustained Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection.
Infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa plays a major role in the pulmonary inflammation and injury associated with cystic fibrosis. Lung inflammation may also lead to more widespread systemic effects on other organs. We tested the following hypotheses: (1) ongoing P. aeruginosa lung infection produces diaphragmatic and limb muscle weakness and (2) such muscle dysfunction is directly correlated w...
متن کاملNovel experimental Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection model mimicking long-term host–pathogen interactions in cystic fibrosis
The dominant cause of premature death in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF) is chronic lung infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The chronic lung infection often lasts for decades with just one clone. However, as a result of inflammation, antibiotic treatment and different niches in the lungs, the clone undergoes significant genetic changes, resulting in diversifying geno- and pheno...
متن کاملCystic fibrosis lung environment and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection
BACKGROUND The airways of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are highly complex, subject to various environmental conditions as well as a distinct microbiota. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is recognized as one of the most important pulmonary pathogens and the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality in CF. A multifarious interplay between the host, pathogens, microbiota, and the environment shapes...
