PLASMID MEDIATED METAL AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE IN PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA STRAINS ISOLATED FROM BURN PATIENTS
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of bum infections, and antibiotic- resistant strains of this bacterium are emerging due to extensive application of antibiotics in the bum unit of hospitals. In this study 50 strains of P. aeruginosa were isolated from bum patients infected with this micro-organism in the bum unit of a general hospital in Kerman, Iran over one year [May 1999-ApriI20...

متن کاملIn vitro Susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from a Burn Center to Silver Sulfadiazine and Silver Nitrate in Shiraz, South of Iran
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as an etiological agent, has a prominent infection role in serious burned patients. Burned patients usually treated with antiseptic ointments such as silver sulfadiazine (SSD). This study evaluated the effectiveness of 1% SSD and different concentrations of silver nitrate solution (SNS) on resistant isolates of P. aeruginosa. Methods: Three groups of P. aerug...
متن کاملPlasmid-determined resistance to hexachlorophene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Plasmid-containing strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were screened for resistance to disinfectants. Two plasmids, pMG1 and pMG2, were found to determine hexachlorophene resistance.
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 ...
