Antibiotic Resistance Patterns of Biofilm-Forming Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolates from Mechanically Ventilated Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
bacteria is Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), which is usually associated with human nosocomial infections,sever opportunist infections, ventilated-associated pneumonia (VAP) andinfections in the lungs of patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (1, 5-7).P. aeruginosa is a one of main respiratory tract pathogen. Rapid colonization of biofilm-forming pathogenic bacteria as P. aeruginosa on the outside of inserted endotracheal tubes is an important cause of pneumoniaand septicemia inmechanically ventilated patients (MVP)(8).

Corelation between antibiotic resistans and biofilm formation power of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
P. aeruginosa has been mentioned as the major causative agents of nosocomial infections. Pseudomonas infections are often serious and show different resistance to treatment due to distribution of antimicrobial resistance. Meanwhile, some strains are also able to form biofilm during contamination, which help bacteria to be even more persisyant to yreatment. We examined the antibiotic resistance ...
متن کاملDrug resistance profile and biofilm forming potential of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from contact lenses in Karachi-Pakistan
BACKGROUND The contaminated contact lens provides Pseudomonas aeruginosa an ideal site for attachment and biofilm production. Continuous contact of the eye to the biofilm-infested lens can lead to serious ocular diseases, such as keratitis (corneal ulcers). The biofilms also prevent effective penetration of the antibiotics, which increase the chances of antibiotic resistance. METHODS For this...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance properties and molecular characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) referred to Gholhak Pathobiology Laboratory in Tehran city during 2016-2018
Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are often heterogeneous and antibiotic resistant strains. Our work therefore focused on the antibiotic resistance properties of these P. aeruginosa strains isolated from Iranian patients, as well as the genetic diversity analysis by a repetitive-element-based molecular assay. Methods: This ...

Background and Objective: Despite the critical importance of catheter as an indwelling medical device, its prolonged utilization in hospitalized patients may lead to infection. This study aimed to identify distribution of uropathogenic bacteria isolated from catheterized uro-oncology patients, their biofilm production, and antimicrobial resistance patterns to generally -used antibiotics. Mater...
متن کاملA study of Biofilm formation & Metallo-β-Lactamases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a tertiary care rural hospital
Background and Aims: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen. The appearance of the Metallo-β-Lactamases genes and their spread among bacterial pathogens is a matter of concern with regard to the future of antimicrobial therapy.Antimicrobial resistance is an innate feature of bacterial biofilms. Biofilm formation is higher in MDR strains. The present study was undertaken with the ai...
