Exopolysaccharide to Bind Selected Antibiotics
It has been proposed that the exopolysaccharide (alginate) of mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains which infect cystic fibrosis patients might bind and hence protect this pathogen from antibiotics. To test this hypothesis, we employed equilibrium dialysis to measure the binding between several antibiotics and purified Pseudomonas alginate. Binding was calculated from the residual concentration...
متن کاملDrug resistance of isolated strains of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa from burn wound infections to selected antibiotics and disinfectants
Background and Objectives: Infection is the most common problem following burn injury. Selection and dissemination of intrinsic and acquired resistance mechanisms increase the probability of burn wound colonization by resistant species including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas ae...
متن کاملIntravenous antibiotics and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
We believe that prompt initiation of eradication protocols for new Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection and early, high dose intravenous antibiotic treatment of respiratory exacerbations have been the most important factors responsible for the improved outlook for people with CF (Conway et al, 1985; Smith et al, 1988; Regelmann et al, 1990; Bradley et al, 1999). All patients require regular respira...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility of gentamicin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to netilmicin and selected aminoglycoside antibiotics.
Netilmicin (Sch 20569), a semisynthetic aminoglycoside related to gentamicin C(1a), was evaluated in vitro in agar dilution testing against 224 different clinical isolates of gentamicin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in parallel with amikacin, gentamicin, sisomicin, and tobramycin. Netilmicin showed a very high degree of activity against gentamicin-resistant organisms, ...
متن کاملInability of haptoglobin to bind myoglobin.
(Itlent studies showed that this factor selectively binds Hgb, and it is now established that virtually the entire Hgh-binding capacity of serum is due to its hp content. Normally the Hp in 100 ml. of serum can bind about 125 mg. Hgb2. The renal handling of Hgb has recently been shown to depend to a large extent upon its binding with Hp. Thus Hgb does not appear in the urine until the Hgb-bindi...
