the ciprofloxacin impact on biofilm formation by proteus mirabilis and p. vulgaris strains
conclusions minimum biofilm eradication values of ciprofloxacin obtained in the study are close to the values of the minimal inhibition concentration (mic). results all tested strains formed a biofilm. a value of 1.0 μg/ml ciprofloxacin is mbe50 for the strains of both tested species. an mbe90 value of ciprofloxacin for isolates of p. vulgaris was 2 μg/ml and for p. mirabilis was 512 μg/ml. mat...
متن کاملBiofilm formation by Pneumocystis spp.
Pneumocystis spp. can cause a lethal pneumonia in hosts with debilitated immune systems. The manner in which these fungal infections spread throughout the lung, the life cycles of the organisms, and their strategies used for survival within the mammalian host are largely unknown, due in part to the lack of a continuous cultivation method. Biofilm formation is one strategy used by microbes for p...
متن کاملThe Ciprofloxacin Impact on Biofilm Formation by Proteus Mirabilis and P. Vulgaris Strains
BACKGROUND Proteus spp. bacilli belong to opportunistic human pathogens, which are primarily responsible for urinary tract and wound infections. An important virulence factor is their ability to form biofilms that greatly reduce the effectiveness of antibiotics in the site of infection. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the value of the minimum concentration of ciprofloxacin t...
متن کاملPrimary and secondary bacteremia caused by mdr bacteria in ICU patients
Methods For a 3 months period we have studied all cases of primary and secondary bacteremia occurred in patients hospitalized in ICU of KAT Hospital in Athens. The patients’ demographic data, the reason of admission, the day when bacteremia occurred, the cultured microbe and its resistance to antibiotics as well as the duration of patients’ hospitalization in ICU have been recorded. The statist...
متن کاملBiofilm Formation and Immunomodulatory Activity of Proteus mirabilis Clinically Isolated Strains
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and catheter-associated UTIs (CAUTIs) are the principal hospital-acquired infections. Proteus mirabilis is characterized by several virulence factors able to promote adhesion and biofilm formation and ameliorate the colonization of urinary tract and the formation of crystalline biofilms on the abiotic surface of the urinary catheters. Since, to date, the role of ...
