BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Carbapenem resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a serious cause of nosocomial infections. The main purpose of the study is to determine the prevalence rate of imipenem resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa carrying metallo-ß-lactamase (MBL) genes. MATERIAL AND METHODS 236 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were collected from teaching hospitals of Ahvaz University of Medical ...

BACKGROUND Fungi have a potential of using both as nutritive and medicinal food stuff. Because of containing several therapeutic agents, they are reported to be used for hundreds of years to treat several diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. The aim of this study is to determine the in vitro antimicrobial activity of Xylaria hypoxylon, which were collected from Yomra, Trab...

citrus blast disease caused by pseudomonas spp is among the most injurious diseases of citrus. in the northern citrus growing provinces of iran. to determine the species and pathovars of pseudomonas strains associated with the disease in mazandaran province and in the neighboring areas in guilan and golestan provinces and as well to assess their phenotypic heterogeneity and virulence, symptomat...

Mupirocin is a polyketide antibiotic with broad antibacterial activity. It was isolated and characterized about 40 years ago from Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 10586. To study the phylogenetic distribution of mupirocin producing strains in the genus Pseudomonas a large collection of Pseudomonas strains of worldwide origin, consisting of 117 Pseudomonas type strains and 461 strains isolated from...

Prior investigators have reported a broad gram-negative spectrum and a marked anti-Pseudomonas activity in vitro with BL-P1654, 6-[R-alpha-(guanylureido)phenylacetamido]-penicillanic acid. An in vitro comparison of BL-P1654 to carbenicillin was performed against 84 strains of Pseudomonas and 39 strains of Enterobacteriaceae. Mean minimal inhibitory concentrations in Mueller-Hinton broth of BL-P...

We present here the draft genome sequences of 14 Pseudomonas strains isolated from Prunus sp. plants in New Zealand and overseas. These new genomic data will be used to improve the detection of Pseudomonas strains found in imported plant material at the New Zealand border, improving the time involved in the process of biosecurity decision-making.

The cellular fatty acid composition of 10 reference strains representing eight species of Pseudomonas was determined by gas-liquid chromatography. A variety of acids were detected in these organisms, including branched and straight-chained acids, cyclopropane, and hydroxy acids. Comparison of the presence and relative amounts of these acids among strains was useful for distinguishing various Ps...

conclusions the results of our study showed that plant extracts have good antibacterial properties against pseudomonas aeruginosa and escherichia coli. objectives this research aims to discover the function of some medicine plants on pestiferous pseudomonas aeruginosa and escherichia coli in humans. materials and methods bacterial strains were obtained from a standard laboratory. the strains of...
