The bacteriological survey of resuscitation and intensive care units has revealed the presence of P. aeruginosa strains in the microflora in 69.4% of cases. The circulation of 1-2 P. aeruginosa strains, identical in their serovar and pyocin type, is indicative of the presence of hospital infection and, therefore, the endogenous character of the contamination of patients. P. aeruginosa hospital strains are the main causative agents of infectious complications in the patients treated in resuscitation units.

Bacterial biofilms formed by and pose significant challenges in treating cystic fibrosis (CF) airway infections due to their resistance to antibiotics. New therapeutic approaches are urgently needed to treat these chronic infections. This study aimed to investigate the antibiofilm potential of various plant extracts, specifically targeting mucoid and small colony variants of and and strains.

Remediation of soil contaminated with long-chain hydrocarbons and affected by salinization poses a considerable challenge. The isolation of a bacterial strain, identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa DL, from petroleum-contaminated saline-alkali soil has been reported in this study. The strain demonstrated a high capacity to degrade long-chain alkanes and exhibited adaptability to saline-alkali conditions.

Scientists investigated probiotic-containing dressings to address the challenges associated with burn injuries, namely infection and antimicrobial resistance. The present investigation sought to evaluate the impact of innovative probiotic-loaded microparticles with in situ gelling characteristics on infected burns. The strain, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, was selected due to its demonstrated wound-healing potential.

In critically ill patients, the occurrence of multidrug-resistant infection is a significant concern, given its ability to acquire multidrug-resistant, form biofilms and secrete toxic effectors. In Brazil, limited data are available regarding the prevalence of dissemination, and the impact of the type III secretion system (T3SS) on toxin production and biofilm formation in clinical isolates of . This study investigates the dissemination of virulent harbouring the and genes, the presence of T3SS genes and their biofilm-forming capability.

However, the transmission patterns of Pf underlying the progressive dominance of Pf+ strains are unclear. In particular, it is unknown whether phage transmission commonly occurs horizontally between bacteria within the airway via viral particles or if Pf+ bacteria are mostly acquired via new infections.
