Comparative bactericidal effects of azlocillin and ticarcillin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Azlocillin was relatively ineffective against actively growing cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in tests of bacteriolytic and bactericidal activity in which ticarcillin demonstrated pronounced bactericidal effects over a wide range of concentrations. Microscopic observation showed that azlocillin generally induced the formation of filamentous cells of P. aeruginosa which lysed only slowly, bu...

Dysfunctional CFTR Alters the Bactericidal Activity of Human Macrophages against Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Chronic inflammation of the lung, as a consequence of persistent bacterial infections by several opportunistic pathogens represents the main cause of mortality and morbidity in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Mechanisms leading to increased susceptibility to bacterial infections in CF are not completely known, although the involvement of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)...

The in Vitro Bactericidal Activity of Antiserum against Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Thesis

Bactericidal activity of different types of honey against clinical and environmental isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

OBJECTIVES Honey has had a valued place in traditional medicine for centuries. Renewed interest in honey for various therapeutic purposes, including treatment of infected wounds, has led to the search for different types of honey with antibacterial activity. In this study, we have assessed the antibacterial activity of different types of honey (manuka honey from Australia, heather honey from th...
