LasB, ExoS and Nan1 genes as potential predictors of site-specific Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogenicity in nosocomial isolates [PDF]
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that represents a global public health threat. Immunocompromised hosts and cystic fibrosis patients are primarily susceptible to high morbidity and mortality due to pulmonary tract ...

Characterization of CMR5c and CMR12a, novel fluorescent Pseudomonas strains from the cocoyam rhizosphere with biocontrol activity [PDF]
Aim: To screen for novel antagonistic Pseudomonas strains producing both phenazines and biosurfactants that are as effective as Pseudomonas aeruginosa PNA1 in the biocontrol of cocoyam root rot caused by Pythium myriotylum.

Bacteriophage therapy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms: a review
Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important bacterial pathogens that causes infection with a high mortality rate due to resistance to different antibiotics.

Chemotaxis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
A chemotaxis system for Pseudomonas aeruginosa was defined by using the method of Adler. Cells were attracted to compounds in the order ammonium chloride greater than amino acids greater than organic acids. Two sugars were assayed and elicited no response. Comparisons with other model systems are discussed.

The Anti-Sigma Factor MucA of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Dramatic Differences of a mucA22 vs. a ΔmucA Mutant in Anaerobic Acidified Nitrite Sensitivity of Planktonic and Biofilm Bacteria in vitro and During Chronic Murine Lung Infection [PDF]
Mucoid mucA22 Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is an opportunistic lung pathogen of cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients that is highly sensitive to acidified nitrite (A-NO2-).

Chemotaxis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Chemotaxis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa RM46 has been studied, and conditions required for chemotaxis have been defined, by using the Adler capillary assay technique. Several amino acids, organic acids, and glucose were shown to be attractants of varying effectiveness for this organism.

Ferric uptake regulator Fur is conditionally essential in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein controls both metabolism and virulence in response to iron availability. Differently from other bacteria, attempts to obtain fur deletion mutants of P. aeruginosa failed, leading to the

Quorum Sensing Inhibitory Activities of Oridonin in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen, and it can produce cell-associated and extracellular virulence factors. Several of these virulence factors have been demonstrated to be regulated by quorum sensing (QS).
