  2. Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas_aeruginosa

    The genome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa consists of a relatively large circular chromosome (5.5–6.8 Mb) that carries between 5,500 and 6,000 open reading frames, and sometimes plasmids of various sizes depending on the strain. [11] Comparison of 389 genomes from different P. aeruginosa strains showed that just 17.5% is shared.

  3. Pseudomonadales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonadales

    Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause chronic opportunistic infections that have become increasingly apparent in immunocompromised patients and the ageing population of industrialised societies. The genome sequences of several pseudomonads have become available in recent years and researchers are beginning to use the data to make new discoveries ...

  4. Pseudomonas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas

    Pseudomonas aeruginosa is highly contagious and has displayed resistance to antibiotic treatments, making it difficult to manage effectively. Some strains of Pseudomonas are known to target white blood cells in various mammal species , posing risks to humans, cattle, sheep, and dogs alike.

  5. Pseudomonadaceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonadaceae

    Studies also suggest the emergence of antibiotic resistance in P. aeruginosa. [5] In 2000, the complete genome of a Pseudomonas species was sequenced; more recently, the genomes of other species have been sequenced, including P. aeruginosa PAO1 (2000), P. putida KT2440 (2002), P. fluorescens Pf-5 (2005), P. fluorescens PfO-1, and P. entomophila ...

  6. Pseudomonas infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas_infection

    Pseudomonas infection refers to a disease caused by one of the species of the genus Pseudomonas. P. aeruginosa is a germ found in the environment and it is an opportunistic human pathogen most commonly infecting immunocompromised patients, such as those with cancer, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, [1] severe burns, AIDS, [2] or people who are very ...

  7. Pseudomonas quinolone signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudomonas_Quinolone_Signal

    Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The molecule 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone, also named the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS), has been discovered as an intracellular link between the two major quorum sensing systems of P. aeruginosa; the las and rhl systems. [1]

  8. Cetrimide agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetrimide_agar

    Cetrimide also enhances the production of Pseudomonas pigments such as pyocyanin and pyoverdine, which show a characteristic blue-green and yellow-green colour, respectively. [3] [4] Cetrimide agar is widely used in the examination of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and clinical specimens to test for the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [1]

  9. Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbapenem-resistant_enter...

    CR Pseudomonas aeruginosa is commonly present in intensive-care units, and can lead to dangerous infections. [30] In Thai hospitals, of 261 multidrug-resistant samples collected of P. aeruginosa (not part of the Enterobacteriaceae), 71.65% were carbapenem-resistant. [30] Site of cleavage by beta-lactamase
