The perception and response to cellular death is an important aspect of multicellular eukaryotic life. For example, damage-associated molecular patterns activate an inflammatory cascade that leads to removal of cellular debris and promotion of healing. We demonstrate that lysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells triggers a program in the remaining population that confers fitness in interspecies co...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen which uses a number of strategies to cross epithelial and endothelial barriers at cell-cell junctions. In this review, we describe how the coordinated actions of P. aeruginosa's virulence factors trigger various molecular mechanisms to disarm the junctional gate responsible for tissue integrity.

Objective: To investigate infection distribution of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on burned patients in our hospital as well as its drug resistance in order to provide reference of clinical use of antibiotics. Methods: Statistically analysed 481 Pseudomonas aeruginosa and their drug sensitive test results from burned patients who were sent to hospital from January 2004 to December 2006. Results: In ou...

abstract atrazine biodegradation by bacteria is one of the most important aspects of bioremediation. atrazine can be degraded by various species of bacteria. bacteria use atrazine as nitrogen and carbon sources. the aim of this study was to determine atrazine degradation by pseudomonas fluorescence and pseudomonas aeruginosa. the experiment consisted of two pseudomonas bacteria, three levels of...

We report on nine draft genomes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, assembled using a hybrid paired-end and Nextera mate-pair library approach. Eight are of clinical origin, and one is the ATCC 27853 strain. We also report their multilocus sequence types.

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PFK10, isolated from the common effluent treatment plant (CETP) of the Ankleshwar industrial area of Gujarat, India. The 6.04-Mb draft genome sequence of strain PFK10 provides information about the genes encoding enzymes that enable the strain to decolorize and degrade textile azo dye.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa SG17M is an environmental isolate recovered from river water in the city of Mulheim, Germany. SG17M belongs to clone C, which is distributed worldwide. This is the first clone C strain whose genome sequence has been determined.
