Effect of medium temperature and pH on the sensitivity of pathogenic pseudomonads to chemotherapeutic agents

Abstract

Antibiotic susceptibility of four Pseudomonas species i.e. P.aeruginosa, P.cepacia, P.mallei and P.pseudomallei was studied under conditions of different temperature and pH of the medium (within the physiologically possible deviations). It was shown that along with the general tendencies (lowered MICs at the medium alkalization) there were obvious species differences in the effect of the physicochemical factors on the Pseudomonas antibiotic resistance. The results of the study may to a certain extent serve as an explanation of the lack of coincidence of the chemotherapy efficacy with the data on the drug in vitro estimation.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.
