چکیده
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often suffer from acute exacerbations (AECOPD) of their disease, which have a significant impact on their health status [1]. Evidence suggests that ,50% of these exacerbations are attributable to bacteria [2]. Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause AECOPD and is associated with reduced survival in cystic fibrosis (CF) and bronchiectasis [3, 4]. Some studies have found that the presence of P. aeruginosa is also associated with mortality in COPD, but these findings have been based on patients hospitalised with exacerbations [5, 6] or those hospitalised with multidrug-resistant organisms [7].

Antimicrobial Effect of Multilayered Carbon Nanotubes on Multi-Drug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the primary cause of infection with impaired defense mechanisms. P. aeruginosa commonly causes nosocomial infections and is the most common pathogen isolated from patients hospitalized for longer than 1 week. We examined the antimicrobial effect of multilayered carbon nanotubes on multi-drug-resistant. Materials and methods: In this research, 20 clinical i...
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...
متن کاملThe recognizing of fli C gene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical sample with PCR
Abstract Background and objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa as an opportunistic pathogen can establish lethal infections in immunocompromised patients or those exposed to predisposing factors. This bacterium contains a single polar flagellum causing motility, chemotaxis and colonization in acute phase of infection. The flagella filament is made up of a structural protein called flagellin. This s...

Carbapenem resistance presents severe threat to the treatment of multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. The study was undertaken to investigate the role of efflux pumps in conferring meropenem resistance and effect of single dose exposure of meropenem on transcription level of mexA gene in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa from a tertiary referral hospital of India. Further, in...
متن کاملIn vitro comparison of effects of extracts of Ailanthus altissima and Salvia nemorosa on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus vulgaris
Introduction: Some plants have antiseptic roles and often do not cause harm to humans or animals. In this study, we try to introduce plants to disinfect spaces and surfaces contaminated with bacteria so that toxic substance does not remain in the environment. Materials and Methods: Ailanthus altissima and Salvia nemorosa extracts were used against lyophilized Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphyloco...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa cell-to-cell signaling is required for virulence in a model of acute pulmonary infection.
Cell-to-cell signaling controls many virulence genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We tested the virulence of las and rhl quorum-sensing mutants in neonatal mice. A lasI rhlI double mutant was nearly avirulent, and the respective single mutant strains were reduced in virulence compared with the wild-type strain. Quorum sensing plays a role in P. aeruginosa pneumonia in neonatal mice.
