Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen causing a wide range of community- and hospital-acquired infections. Here we report the complete genome sequence of an extensively drug-resistant (XDR) P. aeruginosa strain (PA790) in order to understand the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) harboured by such a strain.
Methods: Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed using Illumina HiSeq and Nanopore MinION platforms. Genome assembly was performed using Unicycler v.0.4.8. The genome was annotated using the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP). In silico predictions were fulfilled using curated bioinformatics tools.
Results: Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA790 was classified as XDR and belongs to sequence type 773 (ST773). The complete genome size is 6 932 250 bp with a G+C content of 66.02% and a BUSCO (Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs) score of 100. Strain PA790 harboured 12 different ARGs conferring resistance to eight different classes of antibiotics. It was identified as the nineteenth ST773 strain among 5785 whole-genome sequences of P. aeruginosa available in the NCBI database.
Conclusion: Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA790 belongs to ST773 and was identified as the nineteenth such isolate to be submitted to NCBI and the first complete ST773 genome from India. The WGS data with multiple ARGs of P. aeruginosa PA790 (ST773) will aid in understanding the evolution and phylogeny of such high-risk clones and provide a solid basis for further research on XDR strains.

The widespread use of disinfectants and antiseptics has led to the emergence of nosocomial pathogens that are less sensitive to these agents, which in combination with multidrug resistance (MDR) can pose a significant epidemiologic risk. We investigated the susceptibility of nosocomial , , , and to a 0.05% chlorhexidine (CHX) solution and a biocidal S7 composite solution based on CHX (0.

As the antibiotic resistance of pathogens becomes increasingly severe, it is becoming more feasible to use methods that suppress the virulence of pathogens rather than exerting selective pressure on their growth. , a dangerous opportunistic pathogen, infects hosts by producing multiple virulence factors, which are regulated by quorum-sensing (QS) systems, including the systems, systems, and systems. This study used the chromosome transcription fusion reporter model to screen the traditional Chinese medicine monomer library and found that bakuchiol can effectively inhibit the system and related virulence phenotypes of , including the production of virulence factors (pyocyanin, hydrogen cyanide, elastase, and lectin) and motility (swarming, swimming, and twitching motility) without affecting its growth.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) induced by rapid bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on urinary catheters is a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed. To prevent CAUTI, many contact-killing, non-leaching coatings have been developed for the surfaces of silicone catheters. However, due to the chemical inertness of the silicone substrate, most current coatings lack adhesion and are unstable under external forces.

Natural fruit vinegars, derived from various fruits, enhance culinary experience and offer potential health benefits due to their bioactive compounds. In this study, fruit vinegars (apple, blackcurrant, and cherry) were used as natural solvents for producing chitosan films, introducing an environmentally friendly approach. Fruit vinegars and chitosan-based solutions were examined for their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.

Molecular hybridization, which consists of the combination of two or more pharmacophores into a single molecule, is an innovative approach in drug design to afford new chemical entities with enhanced biological activity. In the present study, this strategy was pursued to develop a new series of 6,7-dimethoxy-4-piperazinylquinoline-3-carbonitrile derivatives (-) with potential antibiotic activity by combining the quinoline, the piperazinyl, and the benzoylamino moieties, three recurrent frameworks in antimicrobial research. Initial in silico evaluations were conducted on the designed compounds, highlighting favorable ADMET and drug-likeness properties, which were synthesized through a multistep strategy, isolated, and fully characterized.
