AI Article Synopsis
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a versatile, Gram-negative bacterium known for being an opportunistic pathogen that can lead to serious infections.
- Its rapid growth and genetic adaptability make it a popular model organism for studying Gram-negative bacteria and microbial behavior.
- The unit focuses on the fundamental laboratory techniques required for the growth and maintenance of P. aeruginosa.
Article Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common, free-living, Gram-negative bacterium that can cause significant disease as an opportunistic pathogen. Rapid growth, facile genetics, and a large suite of virulence-related phenotypes make P. aeruginosa a common model organism to study Gram-negative opportunistic pathogens and basic microbiology. This unit describes the basic laboratory growth and maintenance of P. aeruginosa.

Biofilms can cause biofouling, water quality deterioration, and transmission of infectious diseases. They are also responsible for microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) which can cause leaks, resulting in environmental disasters. A new disposable biofilm/MIC test kit was demonstrated to distinguish abiotic corrosion of carbon steel from MIC.

Immunochromatographic assays (ICAs) provide simple and rapid strategies for bacterial diagnosis but still suffer from the problems of low sensitivity and high dependency on paired antibodies. Herein, the broad-spectrum capture and detection capability of the antibody-free electropositive nanoprobe are clarified for bacteria for the first time and an ultrasensitive fluorescent ICA platform is constructed for the simultaneous diagnosis of multiple pathogens. A magnetic multilayer quantum dot nanocomposite with an amino-embedded SiO shell (MagMQD@Si) is designed to enrich bacteria from solutions effectively, offer high luminescence, and reduce background signals on test strips, thus greatly improving the sensitivity and stability of ICA technique for pathogen.

() infections are increasingly challenging due to their propensity to form biofilms and low outer membrane permeability, especially in chronically infected patients with thick mucus. exhibits multiple drug resistance mechanisms, making it one of the most significant global public health threats. In this study, we found that moxifloxacin (MXC) and antibacterial peptides (ε-poly-l-lysine, ε-PLL) exhibited a synergistic effect against multidrug-resistant (MDR-).

Purpose: This study assessed the microgap width and adhesion of three bacterial species in four dental implants with different interlocks under four screwing torques.
Materials And Methods: Ten samples of four implant systems with various interlockings, including full-hexagonal (FHI), cylindrical-conical trilobe-index (TLI), Morse-taper with octagon terminal index (OI), and hexagonal interlock (slip-fit) (HI-SF), were used. The abutments were screwed to the fixtures under torques of 10, 20, 30, and 40 Ncm.
