Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bronchopneumonia

Fatal Pseudomonas aeruginosa bronchopneumonia in a children's hospital.

Barson, A. J. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 55. Fatal Pseudomonas aeruginosa bronchopneumonia in a children's hospital. Forty fatal cases of pseudomonas bronchopneumonia were found in a retrospective review of 600 consecutive necropsies in a children's hospital. This type of infection has been much more common in recent years and was shown to have a predilection for the prematur...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative, aerobic rod belonging to the bacterial family Pseudomonadaceae. The family includes other genera, which, together with certain other organisms, constitute the bacteria informally known as pseudomonads. These bacteria are common inhabitants of soil and water. They occur regularly on the surfaces of plants and occassionally on the surfaces of animals. Th...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa

P. aeruginosa is often preliminarily identified by its pearlescent appearance and grape-like odor in vitro. Definitive clinical identification of P. aeruginosa often includes identifying the production of both pyocyanin and fluorescein as well as its ability to grow at 42°C. P. aeruginosa is capable of growth in diesel and jet fuel, where it is known as a hydrocarbon-utilizing microorganism (or...

Chemotaxis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

A chemotaxis system for Pseudomonas aeruginosa was defined by using the method of Adler. Cells were attracted to compounds in the order ammonium chloride greater than amino acids greater than organic acids. Two sugars were assayed and elicited no response. Comparisons with other model systems are discussed.
