conclusions the findings of the current study indicate that at high concentrations of salt, the growth of bacteria reduces so that it stops at a concentration of 50 mg l-1 (5%). thus, the bacterium is halotolerant or halophilic. with an increase in phenol concentration, the growth rate increased. phenol toxicity appears at a concentration of 600 mg l-1. results the phenol concentration of 600 m...

background pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen mostly affecting hospitalized and immunodeficient patients. considering the extent of attention paid to the issue of antibiotic resistance and the origin of such resistance and the growing number of treatment failures in patients with burn injury, it seems that investigating the degree of ampc gene expression could be beneficial for...

We observed a significant increase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremias during 2002. Eighty-five microbiological samples were taken from different potential sources of infection. Twenty-nine out of 46 specimens obtained from water taps, shower heads and siphons tested positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Weekly pharyngeal and rectal swabs in high risk patients, use of tap water after running t...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess whether serology and spirometry and the combination of both can complement culture-based detection for earlier recognition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in children with cystic fibrosis. METHODS A 4 year longitudinal prospective study that included 67 Slovenian children with cystic fibrosis with a mean age of 10.5 years was conducted. Serol...

The present study was conducted to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from sputum samples of lower respiratory tract infection patients admitted to different hospitals of Karachi. Most of the hospitals are hampered with high frequency of nosocomial infections generally caused by multiresistant nosocomial pathogen. Among Gram-negative pathogens Pseudomonas ...

Background and Aims: The indiscriminate use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The presence of integrons in Pseudomonas is clearly associated with multidrug resistances. Therefore, this study aimed at tracking class I, II and III integrons of antibiotic-resistant isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa th...

We report the annotated genome sequence of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain NCGM1179, which is highly resistant to carbapenems, aminoglycosides, and fluoroquinolones and is emerging at medical facilities in Japan.
