Production of elastase and other exoproducts by environmental isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from environmental sources and bacteremic patients were compared for their levels of elastolytic activity. No significant differences were found. The incidence of production of toxin A, phospholipase C, alkaline protease, and elastase among the environmental strains was also as high as that previously reported for clinical isolates.

Background & Aims: Pseudomonas aeruoginosa is an opportunistic pathogen and an important cause of nosocomial infections. Different factors are involved in the pathogenicity of this bacterium. This study was performed to compare some factors associated with the virulence of clinical and environmental isolates of P. aeruoginosa. Methods: The present study was performed on 25 environmental isolate...
متن کاملEffect of Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase, alkaline protease, and exotoxin A on corneal proteinases and proteins.
PURPOSE To determine the effects of exoproducts from the corneal pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa on corneal proteinases and proteins. METHODS Whole rabbit corneas were cultured in the presence or absence of broths conditioned with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, elastase, alkaline protease, and exotoxin A. Protein synthesis was assayed by adding 35S-methionine during the last 6 hours of culture. Case...
متن کاملProteinases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa evoke mucin release by tracheal epithelium.
We have determined the potential of exoproducts from pathogenic bacteria to stimulate the release of high molecular weight mucins from goblet cells of airway epithelium in a rabbit tracheal explant system. Culture supernatants from proteolytic strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Serratia marcescens, but not supernatants from a number of non-proteolytic strains, released mucins from goblet cel...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is associated with decreased fitness.
The number of clinical specimens containing β-lactam-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates is increasing. However, whether resistance is associated with reduced fitness is still uncertain in clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. In this study, we aimed to determine whether β-lactam resistance conferred a fitness cost in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Growth rate, extracellular slime production...

Background and Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a causative agent of nosocomial infections. Metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) are considered among the most crucial resistant agents of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to carbapenem. Because of the important role of carbapenemes in the treatment of Pseudomonas infections, in this study, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing metallo-beta-lactamases were inv...
