Pseudomonas aeruginosa: immune status in patients with cystic fibrosis.
In order to have a better understanding of the clinical significance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, circulating and secretory antibodies were measured. Of 100 patients diagnosed as having cystic fibrosis (CF) and an atypical mucoid P. aeruginosa cultured from their sputum, each possessed serum precipitins. These immunoprecipitates, however, were not detected in the sera of 40 CF patients, some of w...
متن کاملAntibiotic Susceptibility of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolated from Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Abstract Background and Objective: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common bacteria colonized in CF patients. Growing resistance of this bacterium to antibiotics now a day is a challenge of controlling infection in CF patient. In this study colonization of CF patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and antibiotic suscep...
متن کاملPseudomonas Aeruginosa Infection in Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Cystic Fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease where the lung is heavily colonized by biofilm forming Pseudomonas aeruginosabacteria. Biofilm due to its thick wall and presence of extracellular polymeric substances confers bacteria with a much higher resistance against antimicrobial compounds and environmental stress. Research has revealed the presence of extracellular DNA (eDNA) in ...
متن کاملIsolation and Genetic Fingerprinting of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Iranian Patients with Cystic Fibrosis Using RAPD-PCR
Sixty four Iranian patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) were studied for colonization with Pseudomonasaeruginosa. The patient’s age ranged between 2 months to 18 years old. Twenty one patients werecolonized, 15 with non-mucoid and 6 with mucoid strains of P. aeruginosa. The colonization rateincreased with age and the mucoid phenotype was only recovered from the older patients. A...
متن کاملInflammatory markers in cystic fibrosis patients with transmissible Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in cystic fibrosis (CF) leads to a damaging host inflammatory response. There are an increasing number of reports of P. aeruginosa cross-infection at CF centres. The clinical significance of acquisition of a transmissible strain for patients who already harbour P. aeruginosa is unclear. In this study, levels of inflammatory markers in clinically stable a...
