A comparison was made of denitrification by Pseudomonas stutzeri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Paracoccus denitrificans. Although all three organisms reduced nitrate to dinitrogen gas, they did so at different rates and accumulated different kinds and amounts of intermediates. Their rates of anaerobic growth on nitrate varied about 1.5-fold; concomitant gas production varied more than 8-fold. Ce...

background and objectives: pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important opportunistic pathogens in patients who suffer from immunodeficiency and burns. wound infections caused by p. aeruginosa can rapidly change to systemic and life threatening situation. the aim of this study was to apply florescent in situ hybridization (fish) method for rapid detection of p. aeruginosa in burrn patien...

the genus pseudomonas consists of more than 120 species that are ubiquitous in moist environments such as water and soil ecosystems and are pathogenic to animals and humans. within the genus of pseudomonas, p. aeruginosa is most frequently associated with human infections. the bacterium is regarded as an opportunistic pathogen, primarily causing nosocomial infections in immunocompromised patien...

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

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.

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the triclosan- and multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain B10W, obtained from municipal wastewater in Hawaii. The bacterium has a 6.7-Mb genome, contains 6,391 coding sequences and 78 RNAs, with an average G+C content of 66.2 mol%.

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...
