Presence of Cofactor for the Vascular Permeability Factor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
نویسنده
چکیده
Purification of the vascular permeability factor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa resulted in loss of activity and qualitative changes in skin lesions in rabbits. Addition to the purified vascular permeability factor of a macromolecular fraction with no vascular permeability factor activity restored the original characteristics of the skin reaction.

Investigating the Presence of Type IV Pilin Subgenus in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolated from Clinical and Non-Clinical Samples
Introduction: The type IV Pilin is an important colonization factor for opportunistic pathogens of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which plays a role in the formation of biofilms and binding to the host cells. Each type of Pilin is coded with a particular auxiliary gene. This specific relationship can be used as a therapeutic target for detecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains as well as its molecular ...
متن کاملVascular permeability factor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The production of vascular permeability factor (PF) by certain strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been demonstrated in rabbits injected intradermally with culture filtrates followed by intravenous injection with Pontamine Sky Blue 6BX. The dose-response curve was found to be rectilinear when lesion diameters, within the range of 10 to 20 mm, were plotted against log dose. Thus, PF in test fi...
متن کاملThe Role of aac(6)-IIa and ant(2'')-Ia Genes and the Presence of Class 1 Integrons in Resistance of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Clinical Isolates against Aminoglycosides
Background and purpose: The aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AMEs) and class 1 integrons in clinical isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa are the major factors leading to rapid spread of antibiotic resistance. The aim of the present study was to investigate the frequency of aac(6)-IIa, ant(2'')-Ia, and class 1 integrons in clinical isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa. Materials and methods: For ...
متن کاملOuter Membrane Protein D Gene in Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and its Role in Antibiotic Resistance
Background & Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of nosocomial infection. OprD protein is a specific protein regulating the uptake of carbapenem antibiotic. Loss of OprD is the main mechanism of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa resistance to carbapenem. In this study, the presence of OprD gene is investigated in isolated Pseudomonas Aeruginosa in burn patients of Ghotboddin hospital in S...
