Coexistence of Virulence Factors and Efflux Pump Genes in Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Analysis of Biofilm-Forming Strains from Iran

Shahram Shahraki Zahedani et al.

Summary: This study revealed a significant association between biofilm formation and efflux pumps in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as the impact of multidrug resistance efflux pump MexEF-OprN on pathogenicity. The presence of MexEF-OprN was found to significantly reduce pathogenicity, while the pumps MexAB-OprM and MexCD-OprJ did not affect virulence.

In Vitro Newly Isolated Environmental Phage Activity against Biofilms Preformed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Patients with Cystic Fibrosis

Ersilia Vita Fiscarelli et al.

Summary: In patients with cystic fibrosis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization in lungs can lead to pulmonary failure and mortality. A study found that newly isolated phages showed good lytic activity against PA strains, with certain phage combinations significantly reducing CF PA biofilms. Further research on combined phage-antibiotic therapy against CF PA biofilms is envisioned for potential treatment advancements.

Subinhibitory Concentrations of Biogenic Silver Nanoparticles Affect Motility and Biofilm Formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Erika Kushikawa Saeki et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of subinhibitory concentrations of biogenic silver nanoparticles on motility and biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa. Results showed that subinhibitory concentrations of bio-AgNPs increased motility and enhanced biofilm formation capacity in certain P. aeruginosa isolates. Further research is needed to explore the impact of AgNPs on P. aeruginosa quorum sensing at subinhibitory concentrations.

Screening of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes and Epidemiological Features in Hospital and Community-Associated Carbapenem-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections

Aysegul Copur Cicek et al.

Summary: Researching carbapenem-resistant isolates revealed a high prevalence of bacteria carrying beta-lactamase and metallo-beta-lactamase genes, with more resistance genes and coexistence found in hospital-acquired samples. There was no difference between community and hospital-associated isolates in PFGE results, but a significant difference was observed in terms of fatality rates, indicating the importance of other microorganisms coexisting with resistance genes in patient outcomes.

Association between biofilm-production and antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli isolates: A laboratory-based case study and a literature review

Mario Gajdacs et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between antibiotic resistance and biofilm production in Escherichia coli isolates. Results showed that isolates resistant to certain antibiotics were more likely to form biofilms, which provide protection against environmental stresses, immune components, and harmful chemicals. Further research is needed to fully understand the connection between multidrug resistance and biofilm formation for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Summary: Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates collected from clinical samples were characterized for biofilm formation, antimicrobial resistance, and virulence genes. Strong biofilm producers exhibited higher virulence scores and a significant correlation between overall virulence score and biofilm formation was observed. ERIC-PCR genotyping revealed genetic diversity and potential for cross-colonization in P. aeruginosa infections.

Emerging Phage Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 Is Accompanied by an Enhanced Heterogeneity and Reduced Virulence

Pawel Markwitz et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the biology and phenotype changes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 phage-resistant clones that emerge in phage-treated biofilms, characterizing them for phage-typing patterns, antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, pathogenicity, and interactions with the innate immune system. Despite the similar phage resistance patterns selected by different phages targeting a particular receptor, there is a dramatic increase in population heterogeneity as a result. The findings also suggest that phage-resistant bacteria are more susceptible to antibiotics and clearance mechanisms by the immune system, supporting the application of phages in therapy.

The role of Psl in the failure to eradicate Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms in children with cystic fibrosis

Amanda J. Morris et al.

Summary: The exopolysaccharide Psl plays a role in biofilm structure and antibiotic tolerance, possibly contributing to the failure of Pseudomonas aeruginosa eradication in cystic fibrosis airways. An increase in Psl0096 binding was associated with bacterial aggregation and tobramycin tolerance in P. aeruginosa isolates from children who failed antibiotic eradication therapy. The biofilm matrix could be a potential therapeutic target to improve P. aeruginosa eradication treatment.
