Development of Antibiotic Resistance during Simulated Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Chemostats
During treatment of infections with antibiotics in critically ill patients in the intensive care resistance often develops. This study aims to establish whether under those conditions this resistance can develop de novo or that genetic exchange between bacteria is by necessity involved. Chemostat cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were exposed to treatment regimes with ceftazidime and meropenem...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance profiles of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates containing virulence genes
Background: A most common opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is present in both humans and animals and responsible for various nosocomial infections and healthcare settings related infections. Different virulence genes like; oprL (membrane lipoprotein L) and toxA (exotoxin A i.e. ETA) in P. aeruginosa, assist in its pathogenicity, toxicity and contribute to high antibiotic resistanc...
متن کاملMechanisms of antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a notoriously difficult organism to control with antibiotics or disinfectants1. Recent reports on the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of P. aeruginosa in the UK have highlighted the problem of antibiotic resistance in cystic fibrosis (CF) strains in comparison with other hospital isolates2,3. Table 1 summarizes the current position in which the resistance rates of P. a...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: mechanisms and impact on treatment.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa continues to be a major cause of infections in Western society, in part because of its high intrinsic resistance to antibiotics. It has been demonstrated that this intrinsic resistance arises from the combination of unusually restricted outer-membrane permeability and secondary resistance mechanisms such as energy-dependent multidrug efflux and chromosomally encoded perip...
متن کاملRole of PA3574 (nalD) gene in development of ciprofloxacin resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates
Background & Aims: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative opportunistic pathogen and one of the mortality causes of nosocomial infections. One of the drug resistance mechanisms in P.aeruginosa is mutation in negative regulator genes of mexAB-oprM efflux pump system such as nalD. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of nalD mutations in P. aeruginosa isolates of Guilan province i...
