Aim: Analysis of genetic heterogeneity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated in and out of hospitals.

Materials And Methods: To study the genetic diversity of 36 strains of P. aeruginosa plasmid analysis, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique as well as polymerase chain reaction for detection of virulence genes algD, lasB, toxA, plcH, plcN, exoS, nan1, and nan2.

Results: Epidemically important strains were found in different ecological niches. It was shown that these virulence factors could play important roles in pathogenesis of infection.

Conclusion: RAPD technique was effective for analysis of P. aeruginosa isolates. Number of studied typing bands differed between related isolates for each random primer.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a major pathogen associated conditions like septicaemia, respiratory disorders, and diarrhoea in poultry, particularly in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). The infection causes huge economical losses due to its high transmissibility, mortality and zoonotic potential.

Flagella are essential for motility and pathogenicity in many bacteria. The main component of the flagellar filament, flagellin (FliC), often undergoes post-translational modifications, with glycosylation being a common occurrence. In PAO1, the b-type flagellin is -glycosylated with a structure that includes a deoxyhexose, a phospho-group, and a previous unknown moiety.

Interventional catheters have been widely applied in diagnostics, therapeutics, and other biomedical areas. The complications caused by catheter-related bacterial infection, venous thrombosis, and vascular abrasion have become the main reasons for the failure of interventional therapy. In this study, polyacrylamide/poly(acrylic acid) lubricating copolymer brushes were constructed on the surface of catheters and efficiently resisted the adhesion of blood components and bacteria through hydration and electrostatic repulsion effects.

(Z)-3-butylamino-4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)but-2-en-1-one (1), a new β-aminoenone, has been investigated in terms of its intra- and intermolecular interactions. Vibrational, electronic and NMR spectroscopies were used for the characterization, while X-ray diffraction methods afforded the determination of the crystal structure. The compound is arranged in the crystal lattice as centre-symmetric H-bonded dimeric aggregates (C2/c monoclinic space group).
