Regular paper Reactions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa pyocyanin with reduced glutathione
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common cause of chronic and recurrent lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) whose sputa contain copious quantities of P. aeruginosa toxin, pyocyanin. Pyocyanin triggers tissue damage mainly by its redox cycling and induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The reactions between reduced glutathione (GSH) and pyocyanin were observed using absor...
متن کاملIdentification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by pyocyanin production on Tech agar.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the only gram-negative bacillus capable of producing the very distinctive water-soluble pigment pyocyanin. We evaluated the reliability of this characteristic as a unique test for the identification of this organism by using Tech agar (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.) medium. A retrospective and prospective analysis was performed with a total of 835 strains...

متن کاملEffect of fetal and adult bovine serum on pyocyanin production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical and soil samples
Objective(s): Pyocyanin is a blue-greenish redox-active pigment, produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with a wide range of biological and biotechnological applications. Pyocyanin biosynthesis is regulated by the quorum-sensing (QS) system in which the expression of QS genes and QS-controlled virulence genes may be affected by serum as a complex medium. In the current study, effects of adult bovi...
متن کاملPyocyanin production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa confers resistance to ionic silver.
Silver in its ionic form (Ag+), but not the bulk metal (Ag0), is toxic to microbial life forms and has been used for many years in the treatment of wound infections. The prevalence of bacterial resistance to silver is considered low due to the nonspecific nature of its toxicity. However, the recent increased use of silver as an antimicrobial agent for medical, consumer, and industrial products ...
