چکیده
Pseudomonas stutzeri is a Gram-negative bacterium that has been accounted for as causative specialist of certain diseases. It cause pneumonia, meningitis, visual disease, osteomyelitis and joint Thus, this species could be considered an opportunistic but rare pathogen. In addition, possess extensive variety resistance mechanisms against diverse group antibiotics

Emergence of IntI1 associated blaVIM-2 gene cassette-mediated carbapenem resistance in opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas stutzeri
Dear Editor, Carbapenems are considered as the last resort of antibiotic for the treatment of infection but many Gram-negative organisms have developed resistance to this antibiotic through loss or alteration of outer membrane porin protein OprD, over-expression of efflux pump, hyperproduction of an AmpC-type-β-lactamase and/or carbapenemase.1 Carbapenemases are β-lactamases with catalytic effi...
متن کاملOrganelles as virulence factors of an opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Type IV pili (T4P) and flagellum are well known virulence factors of an opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. T4P pili provide twitching motility, adherence to biotic/abiotic surfaces, intercellular association that is essential to biophilm formation, and are implicated in chemotaxis, bacteriophage adsorption and DNA uptake. Flagellum provides swimming/swarming motilities and chemotaxi...

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...

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging multidrug-resistant global opportunistic pathogen. The increasing incidence of nosocomial and community-acquired S. maltophilia infections is of particular concern for immunocompromised individuals, as this bacterial pathogen is associated with a significant fatality/case ratio. S. maltophilia is an environmental bacterium found in aqueous habitats, i...
متن کاملShining a light on an opportunistic pathogen.
The surface of our planet is subjected to dramatic changes in levels of solar radiation on a daily basis. Sunlight is the direct energy source for photosynthetic organisms and is the foundation of most of the food chains that support heterotrophs like ourselves. Not surprisingly, plants and photosynthetic microorganisms sense and respond to light in many ways. Bacterial light sensors are divers...
