The Assessment of Proteus mirabilis Susceptibility to Ceftazidime and Ciprofloxacin and the Impact of These Antibiotics at Subinhibitory Concentrations on Proteus mirabilis Biofilms
Rods of the Proteus genus are commonly isolated from patients, especially from the urinary tracts of the catheterised patients. The infections associated with biomaterials are crucial therapeutic obstacles, due to the bactericidal resistance of the biofilm. The aim of this study was to assess the susceptibility of P. mirabilis planktonic forms to ciprofloxacin and ceftazidime, the ability to fo...
متن کاملEffect of Subinhibitory concentrations of imipenem and piperacillin on transcriptional expression of algD and lasB genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Sub Minimal Inhibitory concentrations (sub-MIC) of antibiotics, although not able to kill bacteria, can be effect on their physico- chemical characteristics and functions. This study aimed to investigate the effect of sub-MIC of imipenem and piperacillin on the transcriptional expression of virulence related genes algD and lasB in Pseudomonas auroginosa. Five clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa ...
متن کاملEffect of adherence on antimicrobial susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, and Proteus mirabilis.
A simple method was used for testing the antibiotic susceptibility of adherent bacteria to plastic surfaces. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, and Proteus mirabilis cells adhering to the bottom of a plastic tissue culture plate were incubated in serially diluted antibiotic solutions. After 24-h incubation the solutions were removed and a fresh medium without antibiotics was added to ...
متن کاملBasal Bodies of Bacterial Flagella in Proteus Mirabilis
This paper investigates further the question of whether the flagella of Proteus mirabilis emerge from basal bodies. The bacteria were grown to the stage of swarmer differentiation, treated lightly with penicillin, and then shocked osmotically. As a result of this treatment, much of the cytoplasmic content and also part of the plasma membrane were removed from the cells. When such fragmented org...
متن کاملEffect of subinhibitory concentration of piperacillin/tazobactam on Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Subinhibitory concentrations (sub-MICs) of antibiotics, although not able to kill bacteria, can modify their physico-chemical characteristics and the architecture of their outermost surface and may interfere with some bacterial functions. This study investigated the ability of sub-MIC piperacillin/tazobactam (P/T) to interfere with the bacterial virulence parameters of adhesiveness, cell-surfac...
