Writing a literature review on Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be a daunting task for many researchers

and students alike. This bacterium is widely studied due to its significance in healthcare settings,
particularly in relation to infections and antibiotic resistance. As a result, there is a vast amount of
research literature available on this topic, making the process of synthesizing and analyzing relevant
studies a challenging endeavor.

One of the main difficulties in writing a literature review on Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the sheer
volume of literature that exists. Sorting through numerous research articles, reviews, and other
scholarly works to identify those that are most relevant to the specific focus of the review requires
considerable time and effort.

Additionally, understanding the complex scientific concepts and terminology associated with
Pseudomonas aeruginosa research can pose a significant challenge, especially for those who are not
well-versed in microbiology or related fields.

Initially, only an antagonistic relationship between both organisms was described as the presence of
one is associated with the absence of the other in CF and both are rarely found in close association in
chronic wounds. Chembiochem. 13, 2339-2345. Obritsch, M. D., Fish, D. N., MacLaren, R., and
Jung, R. (2005). Aeruginosa itself, although this effect is strain dependent. The presence of some sort
of selection pressure or presence of a preformed matrix seems to favor dual species biofilm formation
whereas planktonic co-culture without selection pressure leads to domination of P. Conflict of
Interest Statement The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any
commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest. SpA
is a cell-wall associated extracellular adhesive protein of S. It covers various aspects in applications
of Pseudomonas in molecular engineering of genetic tools for Pseudomonas protein expression,
medical and environmental fields including biofilm development, quorum sensing, heavy metal
bioremediation and photodynamic therapy as well as the industrially-important lipoxygenase
biocatalysis properties. Pruritus, malaise, and low-grade fever were the main associated features. In
the case presented, the repeated manipulations of the urethra may have triggered the infection.
Aeruginosa strains, PAO1 and mutants derived from PAO1, but different S. This shows that Argyrin
A has a target on the heterologous protein. Also, low gene replica- tion across the genome indicates
that such a compara- tively large genome has vast potential of functional di- versity, which may
support rich mechanisms responsible for multidrug resistance thanks to environmental versatil- ity.
Remarkably, the switch to a SCV phenotype increases survival of S. It has now received renewed
attention as a result of the emergence of MDR strains of pathogenic bacteria. Several in vitro and in
vivo studies evaluating the efficacy of different antimicrobials agen ts and development of vaccines
against P. The patients were not randomized, and critically ill patients or patients who had severe
concomitant diseases tended to be treated by a medical approach alone. Although the clinical
significance is unknown, the presence of PFO may have been partially responsible for the left-sided
involvement in this case. Furthermore, co-infection of wounds in a pig model induced S. By
continuing we’ll assume you’re on board with our. Furthermore, rhamnolipids increase inflammation
by stimulating the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 by the airway epithelium.
Pyocyanin is produced during Pseudomonas biofilm formation, has a role in acute and chronic
airway infections, enables anaerobic survival and serves as a redox-active antimicrobial compound (;
). The Psl polysaccharide is recently identified as repeating units of glucose-, mannose-, and
rhamnose-sugars and is mainly produced during the attachment phase of the biofilm. Chembiochem.
13, 2340. Simonovic, M. and Steitz, T. A. (2009). These studies suggest that, despite the constraints
of different host backgrounds, multispecies infections can lead to delayed wound healing, increased
inflammation and increased antibiotic tolerance, which all add to a worse patient outcome. The
fourth type of molecules, phenazines, are pigments produced by a large number of Pseudomonas
spp., and have been shown to be involved in mediating microbial interactions as well as in CF
disease progression. Compared to IVD abusers, who primarily develop right-sided infection, patients
without a history of IVD abuse are prone to left-sided infection. The patient was transferred to our
hospital for emergency surgical treatment. 1 Transesophageal echocardiography findings. Pruritus,
malaise, and low-grade fever were the main associated features.
The net effect is probably dependent on the Pseudomonas strain involved since the production of
both factors might be variable between isolates (; ). Biofilm dispersal is mainly induced when the
environment becomes less favorable, like in case of nutrient depletion, and is extensively reviewed.
Aeruginosa supernatant components replaced serum proteins on the catheter surface and reduced S.
Furthermore, HQNO can be detected at active concentrations in the sputum of CF patients infected
with P. To learn more about eligibility requirements and find contact information for social service

left-sided P. Aeruginosa and S. Aureus might still have a large impact on the clinical outcome of a
patient and therefore should be a subject of continuing investigation. The organism is an important
cause of nosocomial infections, such as septicemia and pneumonia, life-threatening infections in
immunocompromised persons, and chronic infections in cystic fibrosis patients. Carbapenems may
be administered as monotherapy, but with the emergence of MDR P. Demonstrated that
Pseudomonas aeruginosa inoculated onto wounds do indeed form biofilm. Aeruginosa. Nevertheless,
extracellular products that prevent initial attachment of some S. Aureus, other Gram-positive bacteria
as well as the host. Interestingly, such interspecies interactions differ between the planktonic and
biofilm phenotype, with the extracellular matrix components of the latter likely being a key, and
largely underexplored, influence. BBA Gene Reg. Mech. 1789, 612-623. Abedon, S. T. (2009). The
fourth type of molecules, phenazines, are pigments produced by a large number of Pseudomonas
spp., and have been shown to be involved in mediating microbial interactions as well as in CF
disease progression. The switch to a mucoid phenotype contributes to the establishment of chronic
colonization since alginate offers structural protection against uptake by macrophages and
antimicrobials by forming a barrier limiting the penetration of antimicrobials, macrophages and
macrophage-derived products, such as the pro-phagocytic cytokine IFN-? (; ). Aureus and P.
Aeruginosa caused an increased expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1. As cell density
increases, there is a proportional increase in autoinducer production. P. aeruginosa has at least two
quorum-sensing systems. Each system includes a gene encoding a transcriptional activator, LasR or
RhlR and a gene encoding an autoinducer lasI or rhlI. The patient’s vital signs on admission were
relatively stable. Thus, it is actually difficult to compare the survival rates of patients with medical or
surgical treatment. Aeruginosa virulence is not only beneficial because the P. Aureus but Gram-
positive commensals (coagulase negative staphylococci and viridans streptococci) can also alter the
virulence of P. Such immune modulation and evasion by collective bacterial species might underlie
the worsened patient prognosis observed in multispecies infections (Figure ). Aeruginosa Virulence
and Might Be an Important Therapeutic Target Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is a small diffusible quorum-
sensing molecule produced by several bacteria, including staphylococci, and has been shown to
cause upregulation of several major virulence genes of P. Monotherapy with ceftazidime was given in
1 case, but the patient died eventually. Keywords: Bacilli; Gram-Negative; Pseudomonas aeruginosa;
Multidrug Resistance; Pathogen; Resistance Mechanisms 1. The presence of some sort of selection
pressure or presence of a preformed matrix seems to favor dual species biofilm formation whereas
planktonic co-culture without selection pressure leads to domination of P. Chronic wound infections
share two important attributes with other biofilm diseases: persistent infection that is not cleared by
the host immune system, and resistance to systemic and topical antimicrobial agents. Aureus are
frequently isolated from the lungs of these patients (;; ). The quorum-quenching effect of yayurea A
and B covers a broad spectrum of Gram negative bacteria, including P.
Aureus during co-culture in many in vitro model systems, both planktonic and biofilm (;; ). It has
become increasi ngly clear that resistance development in P. Aeruginosa mainly produces a short-
chain C4-HSL and a long-chain 3-oxo-C12-HSL, although other lengths might also occur. Latterly
an accelerated increase in fre quency of multidrug -resistant clinical strains has severely limited the
availability of therapeutic options. Aureus to infiltrate into the biofilm and form multi-species
biofilms. In contrast, the role of Psl in multi-species biofilm formation is not very clear. Tab le 2
summarizes some of these systems and their effect on resistance to different agents. 3.3. Other
Resistance Mechanisms Another mechanism present in P. Aeruginosa is often the dominant pathogen
due to its wide array of mechanisms to adapt to changing hostile environments, which allows
colonization in a variety of niches. These studies suggest that, despite the constraints of different
host backgrounds, multispecies infections can lead to delayed wound healing, increased
inflammation and increased antibiotic tolerance, which all add to a worse patient outcome. A
literature review by Bowler examined culture data from 62 published studies dating between 1969
and 1997 (Bowler, 1998). Contemporary epidemiology and prognosis of health care-associated
infective endocarditis. The primary pathogen entry was undetermined in nearly half of the cases.
Two persons sharing the same tub manifested a similar rash. Two hypothesis exist regarding the
evolution of 2CS. Aeruginosa supernatant components replaced serum proteins on the catheter
surface and reduced S. These findings indicate that a minimum amount of EPS per cell present in the
biofilm is needed for optimal protection against antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is typically
associated with nosocomial infections. After incubation, the colonies that formed were able to grow
in the presence of argyrin; these colonies were then streaked onto plates with Argyrin A again to
ensure accuracy of obtaining resistant strains. Medical treatment alone may be effective, and surgical
treatment should be carefully considered. Pel and Psl are the main EPS in non-mucoid strains.
During the hospitalization, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed twice (on day 1 and
day 4), but no remarkable findings were observed. Aeruginosa was first described by, who identified
4-hydroxy-2-heptylquinoline N-oxide (HQNO) as a major compound produced by P. This is similar
to resolving infections from biofilm-colonized catheters: where antibiotic therapy is ineffective the
most effective approach is to remove the colonized catheter. Aureus has been shown to result in
delayed wound healing compared to single species infections (;; ). This shows that the binding sites
for fusidic acid and Argyrin A must be independent of each other. Non-nosocomial healthcare-
associated infective endocarditis in Taiwan: an underrecognized disease with poor outcome. Two
persons sharing the same tub manifested a similar rash. And were therefore selected for a higher
resistance to respiratory toxins. Aureus can survive LasA by the emergence of L-form-like colonies,
which lack a cell wall, although the role of L-form like colonies in disease remains rather vague.
Aureus and P. Aeruginosa are not frequently detected together in diagnostic cultures of sputum of CF
patients is because of the existence of S. Aureus The N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) system is the
most important and most extensively studied quorum-sensing system in P.
Aeruginosa and the total species diversity in in vivo endotracheal tube biofilms and a low co-
occurrence of P. Resources against multidrug-resistant pathogenic infections are now limited. SCV
Induction by P. Aeruginosa Is Sigma B Dependent After the induction of the SCV phenotype during
exposure to HQNO, the expression of three main regulatory mechanisms of virulence and biofilm
formation is altered. Two persons sharing the same tub manifested a similar rash. Aeruginosa
endocarditis is a clinically rare condition. Epidermidis, the first includes the induction of detachment
of viable S. Pruritus, malaise, and low-grade fever were the main associated features. Murdoch DR,
Corey GR, Hoen B, Miro JM, Fowler Jr VG, Bayer AS, et al. This shows that the binding sites for
fusidic acid and Argyrin A must be independent of each other. Aureus that mediates biofilm
formation and disrupts phagocytosis (by binding to the Fc portion of IgG antibodies) and its
secretion was shown to be increased in artificial sputum. This article has been cited by the following
publications. First, the alternative transcription factor sigma B (SigB) is upregulated. Contrary to Psl,
Pel dominant strains form loose biofilm structures since Pel reduces the effective cross-linking in the
matrix network (Figure; ). Aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens, Vibrio harveyi, and Chromobacterium
subtsugae. Aureus biofilm formation, the accessory gene regulator ( agr) system, which induces
biofilm dispersal thereby decreasing the total biomass and increases the expression of hla (;; ).
Among 14 successful cases, 5 patients underwent medical treatment alone, and 4 of them were
treated with a combination of anti-pseudomonal beta-lactams and aminoglycosides. Aeruginosa and
Gram-positive bacteria, including S. Flagellins are classified into two types: Type-a (polymorphic
glycosylated) and type-b (non-glycosylated). 2. Pathogenesis and Colonization Pili, flagella,
exoenzyme S, and mucoid exopolysaccha- ride are recognized as major adhesins in P. In addition to
host related factors, one of the reasons for this phenomenon might be the upregulation of S. Aureus
SCVs, an effect that is increased by the presence of aminoglycosides. Intermedius Group Are

Epidermidis strains while others are more resistant to P. Chronic wound infections share two
important attributes with other biofilm diseases: persistent infection that is not cleared by the host
immune system, and resistance to systemic and topical antimicrobial agents. Aeruginosa has
developed several strategies to scavenge iron, like the synthesis of iron chelating siderophores,
pyoverdin, and pyochelin. IE was suspected, but TTE performed on the day of readmission did not
reveal any structural abnormalities. What is the evidence that biofilm forms in chronic wounds.
Surface plasmon resonance is a lab technique that involves aiming a beam of light at a thin metal
sheet, which catalyzes a reaction by causing movement in the molecules behind the metal sheet.
Initially, only an antagonistic relationship between both organisms was described as the presence of
one is associated with the absence of the other in CF and both are rarely found in close association in
chronic wounds. Epidermidis, although some are more resistant to killing compared to S. As cell
density increases, there is a proportional increase in autoinducer production. P. aeruginosa has at least
two quorum-sensing systems. Each system includes a gene encoding a transcriptional activator, LasR
or RhlR and a gene encoding an autoinducer lasI or rhlI.
