Infective endocarditis, caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is rarely seen in clinical practice. It has been reported mainly in intravenous drug abusers (IVDA). We present a case of a 63-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and fever. Computed tomography (CT) abdomen showed splenic and renal infarct. The blood culture grew Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A transthoracic echocardiogram showed a...

Ecthyma Gangrenosum is a severe skin disease commonly associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa septicemia, there an increased risk of infection in patients malignancy undergoing chemotherapy notably Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We present case report CLL patient infested by P. aeruginosa.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen causing a broad range of infections in humans. We provide the draft genome sequence of the recently identified and highly virulent P. aeruginosa PA45 strain. Its 6.6-Mb genome contains 6,822 genes, including an unparalleled number of virulence genes, which might explain its aggressive phenotype.

The VIM-2-producing multidrug-resistant high-risk clone Pseudomonas aeruginosa sequence type (ST) 175 was isolated in the setting of a large outbreak in Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre (Spain) from 2007 to 2010. This strain was resistant to all β-lactams, fluoroquinolones, and aminoglycosides, with the exception of amikacin, and has become an endemic clone in our institution.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram negative bacterium isolated from soil. The isolate was cultured in a selective medium (Pseudomonas Agar base) at 37oC for 24 hours. For species identification, Pseudomonas like organisms creates lot of problems when identified with the help of morphological and biochemical characters. However, sequencing of 16S rRNA region is a suitable technique for species ide...

Background & Aims: One of the main causes of nosocomial infection is pseudomonas aeruginosa and carbapenems is one of the most important classes of antibiotics used in the treatment of infections caused by this bacteria. Metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) production is one of the most important mechanisms of resistance to carbapenems and their increased prevalence is a serious threat to treatment of ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pae221 is a clinical isolate from blood culture. Pae221 was found to be a strong quorum-sensing and biofilm-producing strain and also demonstrates a notable production of phenazines. This strain belongs to sequence type 274 (ST274), an epidemic high-risk clone. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of P. aeruginosa Pae221.
