Pseudomonas aeruginosa

based on the existing site conditions. I researched about current developments and reviewed a study into contamination by Pseudomonas Aeruginosa in mixers/taps and the water supply system; conducted by the UK Department of Health. The study provides advice on what action to take regarding plumbing systems when healthcare facilities become contaminated with Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. I also reviewed standards for water and sanitation such as National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), Uniform Plumbing…

result shows that the blood culture has no growth. Whereas, the respiratory culture was obtained from tracheal aspiration and has positive test results with many WBC’s less than 25 squamous epithelial cells, moderate Gram-negative Rods, many Pseudomonas aeruginosa and moderate Klebsiella pneumonia which was resistant to Ampicillin.  CBG- Capillary blood gas results conclude that the patient has moderate hypoxemia and the acid-base status of this blood gas could be interpreted as compensated…

reported roughly 70,000 cases worldwide. Patients with this condition are predisposed to infections by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This bacteria causes infections in the lungs as it favors conditions with large amounts of mucus, typical for cystic fibrosis patients. The bacteria adapts and grows in this unique lung surrounding, while the patient's immune system is already weakened (Oliver, 2000). P. aeruginosa makes acylhomoserine lactones which work in cell to cell signaling, leading to the…

spectrum activity against Gram +ve bacteria, Gram -ve bacteria, Yeast and Filamentous Fungus with MICs 150, 150, 75, 312, 625 and 625 µg/mL against (Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 3555, Escherichia coli ATCC 23282 Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 10145, Candida albicans IMRU…

growth and development of silkworm Bombyx mori L. like other organisms (Legay, 1958). In the present study, the antibacterial activity of sericin from sporlac, treated silkworm against five human bacterial pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes…

Using this approach, we will confine P. aeruginosa bacteria tagged with mCherry, a fluorescent-protein-based reported, within 3D microstructures on the optical fiber tip. We will then expose the bacterial structure with an excitation source to create excited states promoting fluorescence, which…

and productive. Also, the patient presented some episodes of blood in the green sputum. At the time of admission, the patient was afebrile and had a good appetite. This cystic fibrotic patient was diagnosed with a lung infection related to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. As a result, patient was placed in droplet and contact precautions. Her vital signs at the time of assessment…

Title The analysis of Mini unknown microbe# 1R Summary A series of tests was done with Microbe #1R for identification. A Gram stain was done it reveal a gram positive cocci result. A streak plate was completed revealing that the microbe was round/filamentous, convex, erose, granular, yellow, and opaque. The next test was the Tryptic Soy Agar plate for color. Followed by the oxidase test and last was the Mannitol Salt Agar test. Thus microbe #1R was Sporosarcina…

and fungal biocontrol agents tested proved to be effective against the dracaena leaf spot fungi. The in vitro assays conducted showed that the bacterial biocontrol agents namely, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Pseudomonas ultimum, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, significantly decreased colony growth diameter (76.84%-45.69%) of dracaena leaf spot fungi as well as spore…

Choice “E” is the best answer. This patient has nocardiosis. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole antibiotic therapy inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting successive steps in the synthesis of dihydrofolic acid. Sulfonamides have long been the first-line antimicrobial therapy for nocardiosis. Among the sulfonamides, sulfadiazine is generally preferred because of its CNS and CSF penetration. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) is considered the therapy of choice by most authorities. Choice “A”…
