Role of Efflux Pumps on Antimicrobial Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 23(24), P. 15779 - 15779

Published: Dec. 13, 2022

Antimicrobial resistance is an old and silent pandemic. Resistant organisms emerge in parallel with new antibiotics, leading to a major global public health crisis over time. Antibiotic may be due different mechanisms against classes of drugs. These are usually found the same organism, giving rise multidrug-resistant (MDR) extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria. One mechanism that closely associated emergence MDR XDR bacteria efflux drugs since pump can transport In Gram-negative bacteria, pumps present two configurations: transmembrane protein anchored inner membrane complex formed by three proteins. The tripartite has membrane, periplasmic protein, porin outer membrane.

Biofilm Formation and Control of Foodborne Pathogenic Bacteria

Molecules, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 28(6), P. 2432 - 2432

Published: March 7, 2023

Biofilms are microbial aggregation membranes that formed when microorganisms attach to the surfaces of living or nonliving things. Importantly, biofilm properties provide with protection against environmental pressures and enhance their resistance antimicrobial agents, contributing persistence toxicity. Thus, bacterial formation is part survival mechanism. However, if foodborne pathogens form biofilms, risk disease infections can be greatly exacerbated, which cause major public health risks lead adverse economic consequences. Therefore, research on biofilms removal strategies very important in food industry. Food waste due spoilage within industry remains a global challenge sustainability security supplies. This review describes formation, elaborates problem associated industry, enumerates several kinds common summarizes current used eliminate control harmful introduces emerging strategies, emphasizes future development prospects respect biofilms.

β-lactam Resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Current Status, Future Prospects

Pathogens, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 10(12), P. 1638 - 1638

Published: Dec. 18, 2021

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic pathogen, causing wide range of acute and chronic infections. β-lactam antibiotics including penicillins, carbapenems, monobactams, cephalosporins play key role in the treatment P. However, significant number isolates these bacteria are resistant to β-lactams, complicating infections leading worse outcomes for patients. In this review, we summarize studies demonstrating health economic impacts associated with β-lactam-resistant aeruginosa. We then describe how β-lactams bind inhibit penicillin-binding proteins that required synthesis remodelling peptidoglycan. Resistance multifactorial can involve changes target protein, protein 3, essential cell division; reduced uptake or increased efflux β-lactams; degradation by expression altered substrate specificity an AmpC β-lactamase, acquisition β-lactamases through horizontal gene transfer; biofilm formation metabolism. The current understanding mechanisms discussed. Lastly, important knowledge gaps identified, possible strategies enhancing effectiveness treating considered.

Potential synergistic activity of quercetin with antibiotics against multidrug-resistant clinical strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

PLoS ONE, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 15(11), P. e0241304 - e0241304

Published: Nov. 6, 2020

Development of drug resistance in opportunistic pathogens is one the major healthcare challenges associated with infection management. Combination therapy has many advantages due to simultaneous action two drugs on separate cellular targets. However, selection should offer safety and synergistic interaction against most strains. Here, efficacy antibiotics combination quercetin, a natural flavonoid capable targeting quorum sensing was tested biofilm-forming Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains previously isolated from catheter urinary tract infection. Based antibiotic susceptibility pattern, effect quercetin selected (levofloxacin, ceftriaxone, gentamycin, tobramycin amikacin) at fractional concentrations MIC by checkerboard method inhibitory concentration index (FIC i ) calculated estimate effect. Effect combinations were further using time-kill assay, biofilm formation cell viability. Cytotoxicity assays performed Human Embryonic Kidney 293T cells (HEK-293T) effective respective controls. The viability drastically affected ≥80% inhibition. In vitro studies showed that all could exert significant killing (68 85%) decreased rate significantly reducing P .

In recent years, the effectiveness of antimicrobials in treatment Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections has gradually decreased. This pathogen can be observed several clinical cases, such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, sepsis, immunocompromised hosts, neutropenic cancer, burns, and AIDS patients. Furthermore, causes diseases both livestock pets. The highly flexible versatile genome P. allows it to have a high rate pathogenicity. numerous secreted virulence factors, resulting from its secretion systems, multi-resistance different classes antibiotics, ability produce biofilms are pathogenicity factors that cause problems fight against must better understood for an effective treatment.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa: an antibiotic resilient pathogen with environmental origin

Current Opinion in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 64, P. 125 - 132

Published: Oct. 26, 2021

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium characterized for its low antibiotics' susceptibility, is one of the most relevant opportunistic pathogens, causing infections at hospitals and in cystic fibrosis patients. Besides relevance human health, P. aeruginosa colonizes environmental ecosystems; therefore elements driving infectivity antibiotic resistance must be analyzed from One-Health perspective. Although some epidemic clones have been described, there are not specific lineages linked to infections, suggesting that virulence determinants evolved nature play functions other than infecting host avoiding antimicrobial treatment. Herein, we review current information on population structure functional role non-clinical ecosystems.

Abstract Purpose of Review Mounting evidence indicates that habitats such as wastewater and environmental waters are pathways for the spread antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) mobile antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). We identified members genera Acinetobacter , Aeromonas Pseudomonas key opportunistic pathogens grow or persist in built (e.g., wastewater) natural aquatic environments. Effective methods monitoring these ARB environment needed to understand their influence on dissemination ARGs, but standard have not been developed. This systematic review considers peer-reviewed papers where above were cultured from surface water, focusing accuracy current methodologies. Recent Findings studies suggest many clinically important ARGs originally acquired microorganisms. Aeromonas, species interest because ability provides opportunities engage horizontal gene transfer with other bacteria. Pathogenic strains organisms resistant multiple, relevant drug classes an urgent threat. However, culture generally developed clinical samples well-vetted samples. Summary The search criteria yielded 60 articles over past 20 years, which reported a wide variety isolation, confirmation, assays.
