TpiA is a Key Metabolic Enzyme That Affects Virulence and Resistance to Aminoglycoside Antibiotics through CrcZ in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Lability of Resistance to Aminoglycoside Antibiotics in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

The determinants for resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics in some strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were irreversively lost during storage or by treatment with ethidium bromide. This fact has indicated the presence of plasmids governing resistance to aminoglycosides in the pseudomonads as well as R factor in gram-negative enteric bacteria and plasmid in staphylococci. Many papers have descr...

Aminoglycoside resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Polyamines induce resistance to cationic peptide, aminoglycoside, and quinolone antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a gram-negative bacterium of human pathogens, is noted for its environmental versatility, enormous metabolic capacity, and resistance to antibiotics. Overexpression of the outer membrane protein OprH and increased resistance to polycationic peptide antibiotics (e.g., polymyxin B) mediated by the PhoPQ two-component system on induction of a putative lipopolysaccharide (LP...

Antibiotic resistance profiles of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates containing virulence genes

Background: A most common opportunistic pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is present in both humans and animals and responsible for various nosocomial infections and healthcare settings related infections. Different virulence genes like; oprL (membrane lipoprotein L) and toxA (exotoxin A i.e. ETA) in P. aeruginosa, assist in its pathogenicity, toxicity and contribute to high antibiotic resistanc...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotypes and resistance to antibiotics from wound swabs.

INTRODUCTION/AIM Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is the most common cause of wound infections, following the disruption of the skin or mucous membranes integrity. The aim of this study was to analyze of the presence P. aeruginosa in wound swabs, antibiotics susceptibility testing, determination of the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antibiotics, testing of the metallo-β-lacta...
