THE MALONIC DECARBOXYLASE OF PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA

Encapsulated Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (pseudomonas Aeruginosa Mucosus) Strains.

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...

Antimicrobial Resistance Profile of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Strains

Abstract Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common organism, which is separated from the burn infections.  Due to increased antibiotic resistance, there are many problems to deal with the infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study aimed to determine the resistance to antibiotics against clinical isolates of Pseudomonas using phenotype me...

L-Lysine Decarboxylase and Cadaverine Gamma-Glutamylation Pathways in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa PAO1

In comparison to other Pseudomonas, P. aeruginosa grows poorly in L-lysine as a sole source of nutrient while fast growth mutants can be obtained. The proposed catabolic pathway involves lysine decarboxylation to cadaverine and its subsequent degradation through -glutamylation pathway to -aminovalerate and glutarate. The lysine decarboxylase A (ldcA) gene, previously identified as a member of...
