Simultaneous production of rhamnolipids, 2-alkyl-4-hydroxyquinolines, and phenazines by clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Of 72 clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa examined for simultaneous production of secondary metabolites, 86% produced 2-alkyl-4-hydroxyquinolines, 75% produced rhamnolipids, and 58% produced phenazines, including pyocyanin. Whereas isolates producing two or one constituted smaller groups, 39% released all three metabolites. Metabolite production did not appear to influence site of infection.

Improved Production of Rhamnolipids by a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Mutant
A Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutant derived by random mutagenesis with N-methyl-N¢-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, producing high levels of the rhamnolipid biosurfactants was selected on Siegmund-Wagner (SW) plates. The mutant designated P. aeruginosa PTCC1637 produces rhamnolipids at concentrations 10 time more than parent strain. NMR analysis and surface tension measurement showed that the biosurfactan...
متن کاملDetection of Ampc and Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases in Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa from Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most frequent opportunistic pathogen isolated from the sputum of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Resistance to β -lactam antibiotics may arise from over expression of the naturally occurring AmpC cephalosporinases or acquired extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL). The aim of...
متن کاملProduction of rhamnolipids by Pseudomonas chlororaphis, a nonpathogenic bacterium.
Rhamnolipids, naturally occurring biosurfactants constructed of rhamnose sugar molecules and beta-hydroxyalkanoic acids, have a wide range of potential commercial applications. In the course of a survey of 33 different bacterial isolates, we have identified, using a phenotypic assay for rhamnolipid production, a strain of the nonpathogenic bacterial species Pseudomonas chlororaphis that is capa...
متن کاملQuorum sensing-dependent virulence during Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonisation and pneumonia in mechanically ventilated patients.
BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa frequently colonises intubated patients and causes life-threatening ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The role of quorum sensing (QS), regulating virulence in this pathogen, during colonisation and development of VAP is unknown. METHODS P aeruginosa isolates and tracheal aspirates were prospectively collected from intubated patients. Genotypes and QS-ind...
متن کاملComparative study of virulence factors among ESβL-producing and nonproducing Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates.
BACKGROUND/AIM β-Lactamase production is considered one of the most important resistance mechanisms amongvirulent Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. The aim of this study was to compare the production and antimicrobial resistance patterns of some virulence factors in extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESβL)-producing and nonproducing P. aeruginosa clinical isolates. MATERIALS AND METHODS Out of 183...
