Detection of Exotoxins and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern in Clinical Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolates [PDF]
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common opportunistic pathogen that causes nosocomial infection in immunocompromised patients. Among different virulence factors, the type III secretion system (TTSS) is an important agent in virulence and ...

Early detection of – comparison of conventional versus molecular (PCR) detection directly from adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) [PDF]
Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is the most important bacterial pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Currently, routine bacteriological culture on selective/non- selective culture media is the cornerstone of microbiological ...

Exotoxin production by clinical isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Seventy-five consecutive clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were tested for in vitro exotoxin production. Exotoxin was demonstrated in culture filtrates biologically, by its ability to produce characteristic dermonecrotic lesions in guinea pigs, and seriologically, by counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) with rabbit antiserum elicited with purified

A total of 16 chemically synthesized capsular polysaccharide (CPS) fragments related to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Acinetobacter baumannii were analyzed by glycan microarray. Comparative screening revealed three conserved epitopes that act as cross‐protective vaccine lead candidates against multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacterial ...

Bacteria in cancer therapy: a novel experimental strategy [PDF]
Resistance to conventional anticancer therapies in patients with advanced solid tumors has prompted the need of alternative cancer therapies. Moreover, the success of novel cancer therapies depends on their selectivity for cancer cells with limited ...

Aspergillus fumigatus enhances elastase production in pseudomonas aeruginosaco-cultures [PDF]
In the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung the presence of bacteria and fungi in the airways promotes an inflammatory response causing progressive lung damage, ultimately leading to high rates of morbidity and mortality.

Toxicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A for human macrophages [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A was toxi in vitro for human peripheral blood macrophages. Cytotoxicity, manifested by morphological evidence of cell death and inhibition of [3H]thymidine uptake, followed exposure to as little as 10 ng of exotoxin per ml for 1 h.

Sepsis caused by bloodstream infection in patients in the intensive care unit: the impact of inactive empiric antimicrobial therapy on outcome [PDF]
Background: Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death in the UK. Aims: The aims of this study were to identify the rate of inactive antimicrobial therapy (AMT) in the ICU and whether inactive AMT had an effect on in hospital mortality, ICU ...

Transcription and Expression of the Exotoxin A Gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
The exotoxin A genes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains PA103 and PAO1 have been independently cloned in a pUC9-derived plasmid. In a non-toxigenic mutant of PAO1 as host, the cloned genes directed the synthesis of intact exotoxin A that expressed ADP-ribosyltransferase activity upon treatment with urea and dithiothreitol.
