identification of exos, exou genes in pseudomonas aeruginosa
نویسندگان
چکیده
the bacterium pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of infections, and infection with antibiotic-resistant strains can be dangerous. the aim of the present study is to investigate the presence of the exos and exou genes and the formation of biofilms in clinically isolated p.aeruginosa strains. a total of 126 samples were isolated, and p.aeruginosa was identified using biochemical tests. bacterial genomic dna was extracted, and the presence of the exos and exou genes were detected by pcr. biofilms were formed by culturing p.aeruginosa on glass slides in rich medium. the exou (76%) exos (68%) genes were detected in of strains isolated from burn (burns caused by heat) patients, respectively. among the 113 strains isolated from patients with burn infections. an improved understanding of virulence genes and biofilm formation in p.aeruginosa may facilitate the future development of novel vaccines and drug treatments.

Relative contributions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ExoU, ExoS, and ExoT to virulence in the lung.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses a type III secretion system to promote development of severe disease, particularly in patients with impaired immune defenses. While the biochemical and enzymatic functions of ExoU, ExoS, and ExoT, three effector proteins secreted by this system, are well defined, the relative roles of each protein in the pathogenesis of acute infections is not clearly understood. Sin...
متن کاملpresence of exou and exos genes in pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from urinary tract infections
background: pseudomonas aeruginosa is considered an opportunistic pathogen; several reports indicate that the organism can also cause infections in healthy hosts. four effector proteins have been described in p. aeruginosa: exou, exos, exot, and exoy. these genes that are translated into protein products related to type iii secretion systems. materials and methods: a total of 134 samples were i...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa ExoU augments neutrophil transepithelial migration
Excessive neutrophil infiltration of the lungs is a common contributor to immune-related pathology in many pulmonary disease states. In response to pathogenic infection, airway epithelial cells produce hepoxilin A3 (HXA3), initiating neutrophil transepithelial migration. Migrated neutrophils amplify this recruitment by producing a secondary gradient of leukotriene B4 (LTB4). We sought to determ...
متن کاملThe Frequency of Exotoxin A and Exoenzymes S and U Genes Among Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Shiraz, Iran
Pseudomonas aeruginosa as an opportunistic pathogen produces several virulence factors. The most important of these factors are exotoxin A and type III secretion system (T3SS). The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of toxA, exoU and exoS genes among clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa. In this cross-sectional study from September 2011 to February 2012, 156 P. aeruginosa isolates w...
متن کاملAcquisition and evolution of the exoU locus in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
ExoU is a potent Pseudomonas aeruginosa cytotoxin translocated into host cells by the type III secretion system. A comparison of genomes of various P. aeruginosa strains showed that that the ExoU determinant is found in the same polymorphic region of the chromosome near a tRNA(Lys) gene, suggesting that exoU is a horizontally acquired virulence determinant. We used yeast recombinational cloning...
متن کاملExoU-induced procoagulant activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa-infected airway cells.
The present study addressed the question whether ExoU, a Pseudomonas aeruginosa toxin with phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity, may induce airway epithelial cells to overexpress tissue factor (TF) and exhibit a procoagulant phenotype. Cells from the human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B line were infected with an ExoU-producing P. aeruginosa strain, pre-treated or not with the cytosolic PLA2 inhibito...
