Only the fluorescent pseudomonads, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, P. putida, and P. fluorescens, were sensitive to pyocins produced from P. aeruginosa.

PURPOSE To report the treatment of therapy-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis with topical piperacillin/tazobactam. METHODS Retrospective report of 3 cases. RESULTS Three patients with P. aeruginosa keratitis were unresponsive to various antimicrobials. Resolution of all 3 cases of keratitis occurred upon commencement of topical piperacillin/tazobactam. CONCLUSION Therapy-resistan...

bacteria is Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), which is usually associated with human nosocomial infections,sever opportunist infections, ventilated-associated pneumonia (VAP) andinfections in the lungs of patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (1, 5-7).P. aeruginosa is a one of main respiratory tract pathogen. Rapid colonization of biofilm-forming pathogenic bacteria as P. aeruginosa on ...

metallo β-lactamases (mbls) producing pseudomonas aeruginosa ( p. aeruginosa ) isolates are becoming an escalating global threat. among the antibiotics used to treat infections associated with p. aeruginosa , resistance to carbapenem is a serious therapeutic challenge. the aim of the present study was to detect mbl-producing p. aeruginosa and to evaluate the extracts of urtica. dioica , carum. ...

OBJECTIVES Occupational saturation divers have various skin disorders, of which skin infections are the most serious and frequent. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the microbe most often isolated from skin infections in divers. The purpose of the present work was (a) to report the occurrence of P aeruginosa in skin infections in operational saturation diving in the North Sea from 1987 to 1995; (b) to ...

We previously reported an outbreak in a neurosurgery ward of catheter-associated urinary tract infection with multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain IMCJ2.S1, carrying the 6'-N-aminoglycoside acetyltransferase gene [aac(6')-Iae]. For further epidemiologic studies, 214 clinical isolates of MDR P. aeruginosa showing resistance to imipenem (MIC >or= 16 microg/ml), amikacin (MIC >o...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen capable of forming a biofilm under physiological conditions that contributes to its persistence despite long-term treatment with antibiotics. Here, we report that pathogenic P. aeruginosa strains PAO1 and PA14 are capable of infecting the roots of Arabidopsis and sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum), in vitro and in the soil, and are capable o...

We have investigated the effect of rolipram, a type IV phosphodiesterase inhibitor, on Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of the respiratory mucosa of an organ culture model and on the reduction in intracellular cAMP levels seen in human nasal epithelial cells incubated with P. aeruginosa culture filtrate. We have compared rolipram with salmeterol, a long-acting beta-2 agonist, and have also stud...

To explore the changes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in space flight, we present the draft genome sequence of P. aeruginosa strain LCT-PA220, which originated from a P. aeruginosa strain, ATCC 27853, that traveled on the Shenzhou-VIII spacecraft.

We demonstrated that a 2% suspension of Pseudomonas aeruginosa alginate completely blocked the diffusion of gentamicin and tobramycin, but not that of carbenicillin, illustrating how alginate production can help protect P. aeruginosa growing within alginate microcolonies in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) from the effects of aminoglycosides. This aminoglycoside diffusion barrier was degraded...
