Targeting iron uptake to control Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis. Dr
The aerobic gram negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for life threatening acute and chronic infections in humans. As part of chronic infection P. aeruginosa forms biofilms, which shield the encased bacteria from host immune clearance and provide an impermeable and protective barrier against currently available antimicrobial agents. P. aeruginosa ha...

متن کاملImpact of siderophore production on Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in immunosuppressed mice.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces siderophores, pyoverdin and pyochelin, for high-affinity iron uptake. To investigate their contribution to P. aeruginosa infections, we constructed allelic exchange mutants from strain PAO1 which were deficient in producing one or both of the siderophores. When inoculated into the calf muscles of immunosuppressed mice, pyochelin-deficient and pyoverdin-deficient ...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa adapts its iron uptake strategies in function of the type of infections
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative γ-Proteobacterium which is known for its capacity to colonize various niches, including some invertebrate and vertebrate hosts, making it one of the most frequent bacteria causing opportunistic infections. P. aeruginosa is able to cause acute as well as chronic infections and it uses different colonization and virulence factors to do so. Infections rang...
