BACKGROUND Mortality in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) is known to be influenced by a number of factors such as gender, age, smoking history and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but the impact of traffic related air pollution indicators on NCFB mortality is unknown. METHODS We followed 183 patients aged 18 to 65 years with a HRCT proven diagnosis of NCFB and typical symptoms, who had visite...

background and objectives: lipases are particularly important due to the fact that they specifically hydrolyze acyl glycerol, oils and greases, which is of great interest for different industrial applications. materialst and methods : in this study, several lipase-producing bacteria were isolated from wastewater of an oil processing plant. the strain possessing the highest lipase activity was i...

abstract aims: the increasing usage of antibiotics can cause resistance to the treatment of infections, which can caused by bacteria, e.g. pseudomonas aeruginosa. the aim of this study was to trace the class i, ii and iii integrons in isolates of p. aeruginosa of nosocomial infection and determining the antibiotic resistance pattern of the bacteria. instrument & methods: in this cross-sectional...

background and objective: the opportunistic pathogen pseudomonas aeruginosa secrets a capsule-like polysaccharide called alginate which is important for evasion of host defenses, especially in patients with suppressed immunity. method of alginate determination has an important role in the study of microbial alginate. in this study, a novel method for alginate determination by highperformance li...

background : due to the importance of the metal zinc as an essential biological element with known toxic properties, and considering the widespread secondary infections caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa strains with resistance to antibiotics and disinfectants, the present study aimed at exploring the antimicrobial properties of the metal zinc in both clinical and environmental multiple drug resi...

background: failure in the treatment of burn patients infected with pseudomonas aeruginosa could happen as a result of the acquisition of antibiotic resistance, including carbapenems. objectives: the aim of the present study was to investigate the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of the pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, isolated from burn patients. patients and methods: during a 12 month ...
