Contamination of fluorescein solutions by Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been a concern of ophthalmologists for many years because of the severity of pseudomonas keratitis. Attempts to prevent contamination have been directed at stringent sterility control during manufacture and the introduction of single-dose disposable containers such as Minims. Deliberate contamination of Minims fluorescein with...

b a ckground: quorum-sensing systems regulate expression of several virulence factors in pseudomonas aeruginosa . this study investigated the relation between expression of the las quorum-sensing system and expression of mexy and ampc in35 clinical isolates of p. aeruginosa . m e t hods: antibiotic susceptibility was determined by the disc diffusion method according to the clinical and laborato...

background and objectives: pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses a variety of virulence factors that may contribute to its pathogenicity. the aim of this study was to evaluate opri , oprl and toxa genes for pcr identification of clinical p. aeruginosa . in order to find out any relation between special virulence factors and special manifestation of p. aeruginosa infections, we detected virulence fac...

nosocomial infections of multidrug-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa (mdrpa) are a growing concern in hospitalized patients in burn centers. the aim of this study was to investigate the flagellin profiling and antibiotic susceptibility of p. aeruginosa isolated from burn wound infections. during 8 month study, 73 clinically p. aeruginosa isolates collected from patients hospitalized in burn ward...

background: infectious by pseudomonas aeruginosa has spread worldwide and metallo-beta-lactamases (mbl) are being reported with increasing frequency. the aim of this study was to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility and distribution of blavim and blaimp genes in p. aeruginosa isolates from zanjan province of iran. methods: a total of 70 p. aeruginosa isolates were identified from patients ...

results the combination of bismuth ethanedithiol with ciprofloxacin showed synergistic inhibitory effect on the p. aeruginosa biofilm formation. the combination of bismuth ethanedithiol ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime and imipenem showed synergistic inhibitory effects on the biofilm formation. furthermore, the combination of bismuth ethanedithiol, imipenem and ceftazidime did not show any synergisti...

background pseudomonas aeruginosais an opportunistic pathogen which causes severe, acute and chronic nosocomial infections. these infections are difficult to eradicate since the organisms are usually multidrug-resistant. carbapenems are considered as the most effective drugs against these isolates. however, recent emergence of carbapenem-resistant p. aeruginosa has become a major healthcare pro...

Background: Despite availability of potent antimicrobial agents, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P aeruginosa) continues to be a serious cause of bacteremia, with high rates of morbidity and mortality; but no available data to elucidate if non-aeruginosa strains of Pseudomonas constitute a similar problem or just bystanders. The aim of this study was to identify the relative frequency of Pseudomonas ba...

We report the complete genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa siphophage MP1412, which displays synteny to those of P. aeruginosa phages M6 and YuA. However, the presence of two homing endonucleases of the GIY-YIG family is unique to MP1412, suggesting their unique role in the phage life cycle of the bacterial host.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative bacterium that causes severe hospital-acquired infections, is grouped as an ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species) pathogen because of its extensive drug resistance phenotypes and effects on human health worldwide. Five multidrug resistant P. ae...
