Association between transcript levels of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa regA, regB, and toxA genes in sputa of cystic fibrosis patients.
In this study, we examined the regulation of exotoxin A (ETA) production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa during chronic lung infections of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. We used a recently developed technique termed population transcript accumulation in hybridization studies with RNA extracted from sputa. With this technique, we demonstrated that the structural gene for ETA, toxA, as well as two gene...
متن کاملAntibiotic Susceptibility of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolated from Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Abstract Background and Objective: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common bacteria colonized in CF patients. Growing resistance of this bacterium to antibiotics now a day is a challenge of controlling infection in CF patient. In this study colonization of CF patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and antibiotic suscep...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from the sputa of Australian adult cystic fibrosis patients.
Genetic investigations were carried out with 50 phenotypically selected strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from 18 patients attending an Australian cystic fibrosis (CF) center. The isolates were analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Phylogenetic analysis of the macrorestriction patterns showed rates of genetic similarity ...
متن کاملIsolation and Genetic Fingerprinting of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Iranian Patients with Cystic Fibrosis Using RAPD-PCR
Sixty four Iranian patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) were studied for colonization with Pseudomonasaeruginosa. The patient’s age ranged between 2 months to 18 years old. Twenty one patients werecolonized, 15 with non-mucoid and 6 with mucoid strains of P. aeruginosa. The colonization rateincreased with age and the mucoid phenotype was only recovered from the older patients. A...
متن کاملPseudomonas Aeruginosa Infection in Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Cystic Fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease where the lung is heavily colonized by biofilm forming Pseudomonas aeruginosabacteria. Biofilm due to its thick wall and presence of extracellular polymeric substances confers bacteria with a much higher resistance against antimicrobial compounds and environmental stress. Research has revealed the presence of extracellular DNA (eDNA) in ...
