Antimicrobial Resistance Profile of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Strains

Determination antimicrobial resistance profile of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from hospitalized patients in Taleghani Hospital (Ahvaz, Iran) from 2011-2012

Background & Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative, glucose-nonfermenting aerobic bacterium. It is widespread in natural environments and it is an opportunistic pathogen for humans that can lead to a broad spectrum of disease such as urinary, burn, respiratory infections, and septicemia. The aim of this study was to determe antibiotic resistance profile of P. aerugino...

Resistance of Antimicrobial in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Antimicrobial agents have been the only easily and widely used therapeutic option available to counter the infections caused by infectious microbial agents. However, microbial populations have developed various strategies to overcome these microbial agents – a major contributing factor in the development anti-microbial resistance world-wide. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an aerobic, motile, nutriti...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa: phenotypic flexibility and antimicrobial resistance

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a widespread ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen, is a leading cause of opportunistic infections in humans and is associated with an ever-widening spectrum of infections and multidrug-resistance phenomena. The evolution and spread of antibiotic resistant pathogens has become a threat to public health and strongly affects the effectiveness of most currently available antimi...

Encapsulated Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (pseudomonas Aeruginosa Mucosus) Strains.

Association of the Exotoxin A and Exoenzyme S with Antimicrobial Resistance in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Strains.

INTRODUCTION Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative and opportunistic bacterium that causes opportunistic infections in immunosuppressed patients. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the association between exotoxin A and exoenzyme S production with antibiotic resistance patterns. METHODS The toxA and exoS genes were detected in 102 clinical isolates by PCR. Antibiotic suscep...

Antimicrobial Resistance Profile and Serotyping of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa in University Clinical Centre of Kosovo

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative opportunistic nosocomial pathogen responsible for a wide range of infections especially among debilitated patients, like burn patients, cystic fibrosis patients and hospitalized patients, particularly those intubated and in intensive care units (ICU). Infections are very difficult to treat due to the high rate of intrinsic, as well as acquired, resistan...
