Evaluation of biofilm production by Pseudomonas Aeruginosa isolates recovered from cystic fibrosis and non-cystic fibrosis patients
Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients typically suffer of persistent and recurrent lung infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa that many times possess ability for the biofilm production. Here, biofilm production among P. aeruginosa isolates recovered from sputum of CF and non-CF patients was evaluated. Most isolates were biofilm-producing independently of the patient's condition.
متن کاملSputum versus bronchoscopy for diagnosis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms in cystic fibrosis.
The present authors hypothesised that bronchoscopy with protected specimen brush may sample biofilm-forming bacteria adherent to the airway wall, whereas traditional sputum collection may not. Pseudomonas aeruginosa obtained from sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage and protected brush, taken from the right upper lung bronchus of 12 adult patients with cystic fibrosis, were compared. Retrieved bacter...
متن کاملIron salts perturb biofilm formation and disrupt existing biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Bacterial biofilms are thought to aid in the survivability of a variety of intractable infections in humans. Specifically, biofilm production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been shown to play a significant role in chronic infection of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Unfortunately, no clinically effective inhibitors of biofilm formation are available. A rapid screen of 4509 compounds for nonantibi...
متن کاملMembrane-bound nitrate reductase is required for anaerobic growth in cystic fibrosis sputum.
The autosomal recessive disorder cystic fibrosis (CF) affects approximately 70,000 people worldwide and is characterized by chronic bacterial lung infections with the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To form a chronic CF lung infection, P. aeruginosa must grow and proliferate within the CF lung, and the highly viscous sputum within the CF lung provides a likely growth substrate. R...
متن کاملAntibiotic Susceptibility of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolated from Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Abstract Background and Objective: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common bacteria colonized in CF patients. Growing resistance of this bacterium to antibiotics now a day is a challenge of controlling infection in CF patient. In this study colonization of CF patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and antibiotic suscep...
