Pseudomonas strains were shown to be regularly associated with the brown macroalga Saccharina latissima from the Baltic Sea, studied over several years, and were identified as producers of the antimicrobially active compound 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol. These findings support the assumption of a stable association between the Pseudomonas spp. strains and S. latissima in the Baltic Sea. The metab...

Immunological characterization of various Pseudomonas pseudomallei preparations was carried out by SDS-PAGE and Western blot using sera from infected humans and from patients with other bacterial infections. Somatic (SOM) and partially purified cell extracts (PCE) gave more complex SDS-PAGE patterns: M(r) ranged from 86 to 12.7 and 48 to 10 kDa, respectively. The culture-filtrated antigens (CF)...

The type strain of Pseudomonas aestusnigri (VGXO14), isolated from a crude oil-polluted marine sand sample, is a member of the P. pertucinogena phylogenetic group. Here, we report the genome sequence (3.83 Mb) of P. aestusnigri to gain insights into the biology and taxonomy of marine Pseudomonas spp. adapted to polluted marine habitats.

PD 127,391, a newly developed 4-quinolone chemically similar to ciprofloxacin, was studied in vitro by using agar and broth dilution and two inoculum sizes. PD 127,391 was found to be highly active against gram-negative aerobes, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Pseudomonas spp. Its activity against gram-positive aerobes was better than that of ciprofloxacin.

Aginanthus brunneus is a specie of Africa mistletoe and is hemiparasitic in nature growing on many trees. Phytochemical screening showed the presence of carbohydrates, Alkaloids, Tannins and flavonoids. The ethanolic and aqueous extracts inhibited growth of Klesiella aerogenes, Proteus spp Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Gentamycin and Cloxacillin did not exhibit any activity against ...

A study was carried out to determine the pattern of microbiological organisms causing community acquired pneumonia in adult patients admitted to Penang Hospital between November 1999 and August 2000. Altogether, 98 patients (64 males, 34 females) with a mean age (+/- S.D.) of 55.9 (+/- 19.0) (range 15 to 87) years were included in the study. Causative organisms were identified in 42 patients (4...

Background and Objective: Aerobic nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli (non-fermenters) are now emerging as important uropathogens. This study was done to know the prevalence of non-fermenters in Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) along with their antibiotic sensitivity. Method: 5436 mid stream urine specimens received in six months period from July to December 2007 were subjected to Gram,s staining...

Pseudomonas spp. have shown characteristics of efficiently metabolizing environmental pollutants and also producing exopolysaccharides known as biofilms. Here we present the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas sp. strain PAMC 25886, which was isolated from glacier cryoconite in the Alps mountain permafrost region and which may provide further insight into biodegradative and/or biofilm-producin...

aims: the internal unit and icu of hospitals are a suitable environment for growing of bacteria such as staphylococcus epidermidis and pseudomonas, acinetobacter. the aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of different disinfectants on bacteria isolated from the surface of hospitals in isfahan. instrument & methods: in this study, 200 samples were randomly selected from different parts of ...
