Fast and specific detection of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa from other pseudomonas species by PCR.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important life-threatening nosocomial pathogen that plays a prominent role in wound infections of burned patients. We designed this study to identify the isolates of P. aeruginosa recovered from burned patients at the genus and species level through primers targeting oprI and oprL genes, and analyzed their antimicrobial resistance pattern. Over a 2-month period, wou...
متن کاملInduction of Specific Humoral Immune Response in Mice against a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Chimeric PilQ/PilA Protein
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, is a common cause of healthcare-associated infections in immunocompromised individuals. The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant strains has made P. aeruginosa infections progressively difficult to treat. In this study we evaluated the effect of a chimeric protein containing a P. aeruginosa PilQ fragment and the PilA disulfide loo...
متن کاملSynergistic activities of gatifloxacin in combination with other antimicrobial agents against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and related species.
Drug combinations have been used to treat serious infections caused by Pseudomonas, Burkholderia, Stenotrophomonas, and Acinetobacter. In this study, the combined drug effects of gatifloxacin (GAT) and nonquinolones were determined by time-kill analysis at clinically achievable drug concentrations. Synergy (>or=2 log(10)-enhanced killing at 24 h) was observed with GAT plus amikacin or a beta-la...
متن کاملPseudomonas stutzeri and related species undergo natural transformation.
Cells of Pseudomonas stutzeri are naturally transformed by homologous chromosomal DNA; they do not require chemical treatment to become competent. This capacity to undergo natural transformation was found to be shared by the closely related species P. mendocina, P. alcaligenes, and P. pseudoalcaligenes, but was not detectable in strains of P. aeruginosa, P. perfectomarinus, P. putida, P. fluore...
متن کاملBiology of Pseudomonas stutzeri.
Pseudomonas stutzeri is a nonfluorescent denitrifying bacterium widely distributed in the environment, and it has also been isolated as an opportunistic pathogen from humans. Over the past 15 years, much progress has been made in elucidating the taxonomy of this diverse taxonomical group, demonstrating the clonality of its populations. The species has received much attention because of its part...
