Pseudomonas aeruginosa, cyanide accumulation and lung function in CF and non-CF bronchiectasis patients.
In patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most important respiratory pathogen. It is able to synthesise hydrogen cyanide, a potent inhibitor of cellular respiration. The present study investigated whether cyanide is present in the sputum of CF and non-CF bronchiectasis patients infected with P. aeruginosa, and whether the detection of cyanide...
متن کاملEvaluation of tests to predict metallo-β-lactamase in cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-(CF) Pseudomonas
Double disks synergy test (DDST) and combined disks test (CD) were evaluated to predict the presence of metallo-β-lactamase in 70 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates recovered from cystic fibrosis and non-cystic fibrosis patients. DDST(CAZ-EDTA 1 cm) and CD(IMP-EDTA) tests showed the best accuracy (94.3%). Furthermore, for other combinations, accuracy unsatisfactory was obtained.
متن کاملUncovering Differences in Virulence Markers Associated with Achromobacter Species of CF and Non-CF Origin
Achromobacter spp. are recognized as emerging pathogens in hospitalized as well as in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. From 2012 to 2015, we collected 69 clinical isolates (41 patient) of Achromobacter spp. from 13 patients with CF (CF isolates, n = 32) and 28 patients receiving care for other health conditions (non-CF isolates, n = 37). Molecular epidemiology and virulence potential of isolates ...
متن کاملChapter 6 Microbiology of non - CF bronchiectasis
Non-cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis is a complex disorder characterised by recurrent chest infections and poorly regulated respiratory innate and adaptive immunity. These lead to a ‘‘vicious cycle’’ of impaired mucociliary clearance, chronic infection, bronchial inflammation and progressive lung injury. The most prevalent pathogenic bacteria are Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginos...
متن کاملSERCA2 Regulates Non-CF and CF Airway Epithelial Cell Response to Ozone
Calcium mobilization can regulate a wide range of essential functions of respiratory epithelium, including ion transport, ciliary beat frequency, and secretion of mucus, all of which are modified in cystic fibrosis (CF). SERCA2, an important controller of calcium signaling, is deficient in CF epithelium. We conducted this study to determine whether SERCA2 deficiency can modulate airway epitheli...
