Effects of Cream Containing Rhamnolipid Microbial Surfactants from Pseudomonas aeruginosa MR01 on Growth Inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus

Inhibitory effects of ozonated grape seed oil on Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Possible Non-Thermal Microwave Effects on the Growth Rate of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Staphylococcus Aureus

The present work reports the effects of low power microwaves in the frequency range of 2.20-2.50 GHz with an incident power range of 0-400 mW on the growth rate of the bacterial species Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Since culture temperatures were maintained constant (37°C) during irradiation, these effects can be considered as non-thermal. A continuous recirculating experim...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa DesB Promotes Staphylococcus aureus Growth Inhibition in Coculture by Controlling the Synthesis of HAQs

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogen that can cause serious infections and usually coexists with other pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus. Virulence factors are important for maintaining a presence of the organisms in these multispecies environments, and DesB plays an important role in P. aeruginosa virulence. Therefore, we investigated the effect of DesB on S. aureus reduction under comp...

Enhancement of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Growth and Rhamnolipid Production Using Iron-Silica Nanoparticles in Low-Cost Medium

The application of iron-silica (Fe-Si) nanoparticles for the enhancement of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth and rhamnolipid production in molasses medium was studied. The experiments were designed based on the response surface method (RSM) to optimize growth and rhamnolipid production. The concentration of nanoparticles and the time required to add nanoparticles to culture medium were conside...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Fluoroquinolone Use

Few long-term multicenter investigations have evaluated the relationships between aggregate antimicrobial drug use in hospitals and bacterial resistance. We measured fluoroquinolone use from 1999 through 2003 in a network of US hospitals. The percentages of fluoroquinolone-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were obtained from yearly antibiogr...

Effectiveness of honey on Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms.

OBJECTIVES Biofilms formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) and Staphylococcus aureus (SA) have been shown to be an important factor in the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). As well, honey has been used as an effective topical antimicrobial agent for years. Our objective is to determine the in vitro effect of honey against biofilms produced by PA and SA. STUDY DESIGN In vitro tes...
