Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common and potentially serious illness associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients infected with Multidrug resistance (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli. After S. pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the second most common pneumonia causing pathogen followed by K. pneumoniae and S. aureus in India. An alarming rise in the inci...

For infections with antibiotic-susceptible strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, most studies have suggested that combination therapy, usually with a beta -lactam antibiotic plus an aminoglycoside, is preferable for patients with bacteremia and neutropenia. Against infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Acinetobacter baumannii isolates that are resistant to all antibiotics except the polymyxins...

BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection remains a life-threatening complication after solid organ transplantation (SOT). We aimed to investigate the distribution and drug susceptibility of pathogens, and clinical characteristics of SOT recipients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. MATERIAL/METHODS A total of 55 SOT recipients who developed 61 episodes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infect...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) bacteremia causes significant mortality rate due to emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) nosocomial infections. We report the draft genome sequence of P. aeruginosa strain VRFPA09, a human bloodstream isolate, phenotypically proven as MDR strain. Whole genome sequencing on VRFPA09, deciphered betalactamase encoding blav(eb-1) and bla(OXA-10) genes and mu...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause large and prolonged outbreaks in hospitals. We have sequenced and annotated the genomes of two multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates from the same strain obtained 12 years apart from different patients. Genomic analysis provided insight on the genes acquired and lost by P. aeruginosa during its spread.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the antibacterial activities ofethanolicand aqueous extracts of Kigelia africana (Bignoniaceae) and Carica papaya (Caricaceae) against multi drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa UTI causing pathogen. The bacterial sp was isolated from urine sample of UTI infected patient and identified with the help of colony characterization, gram staining and bio...
