Pubmed and Medline were searched for articles referring to Pseudomonas keratitis between the years 2007 and 2012 to obtain an overview of the current state of this disease. Keyword searches used the terms "Pseudomonas" + "Keratitis" limit to "2007-2012", and ["Ulcerative" or "Microbial"] + "Keratitis" + "Contact lenses" limit to "2007-2012". These articles were then reviewed for information on ...

Fluorescent pseudomonads protecting plant roots from phytopathogens by producing 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) are considered to form a monophyletic lineage comprised of DAPG+Pseudomonas strains in the "P. corrugata" and "P. protegens" subgroups of the "Pseudomonas fluorescens" group. However, DAPG production ability has not been investigated for many species of these two subgroups, and whe...

Milk spoilage is caused by the presence of proteolytic enzymes produced by Pseudomonas spp. during storage at low temperatures. The aim of this study was to identify Pseudomonas spp. in raw milk and investigate their associated proteolytic properties at low temperatures. Raw milk samples (n = 87) were collected from 87 bulk tanks in Shaanxi Province in China. Pseudomonas spp. were identified us...

abstract biofertilizers are one of the main sources to supply nutrient elements for plants in sustainable agriculture. in order to evaluate the effects of biofertilizers and chemical fertilizers on cumin (cuminum cyminum) as a medicinal plant a field experiment was conducted in the research farm of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad in a randomized complete block design with...

conclusions despite of high resistance of p. aeruginosa, the resistance rate of p. aeruginosa strains isolated from children in the current study was not high. then accurate prescription of antibiotics can decrease the speed of resistance creation. background the first report of pseudomonas aeruginosa (p. aeruginosa) carbapenem resistant strains, and especially the metallo-beta-lactam (mbl) pro...

conclusions regarding the importance of metallo-beta-lactamase (mbl) produced by pseudomonas spp. isolated from hospitals, quick identification of clinical samples should be considered as an important and basic step to treat and control infections caused by pseudomonas spp. results strains with mic > 4 µg/ml were investigated by phenotypic and genotypic methods. in the current study the rate of...

the combustion of sulfur-rich fossil fuels leads to the release of acid rain-causing sulfurdioxide into the environment. the aim of this study was to enhance the efficiency of biodesulfurizationusing pseudomonas aeruginosa through the duplication of the dsz cluster in this organism. one copy ofthe dsz cluster was inserted by a tri-parental mating method into the chromosome of pseudomonasaerugin...

background : the objectives of this study were to assess the antibiotic resistance and clonality of the bacteria isolated from patients with long- (ltc) and short-terms catheterizations (stc). methods : a total of 31 clinical staphylococcus aureus isolates were collected from loghman hospital of tehran, iran. in vitro biofilm formation ability was determined by microliter tissue culture plates....
