The hospital environment constitutes a reservoir of opportunistic pathogens responsible for
healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa). Pa …

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important emerging pathogen that is capable of causing
many types of severe infection, especially in immunocompromised hosts. Since A …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen with several clones being
frequently associated with outbreaks in hospital settings. ST395 is among these so-called …

Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as one of the leading causative agents of
nosocomial infections. Due to its high level of intrinsic and adapted antibiotic resistance …

Acinetobacter baumannii is often highly drug-resistant and causes severe infections in
compromised patients. These infections can be life threatening due to limited treatment …

ABSTRACT The LasR/LasI quorum-sensing system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa influences
global gene expression and mediates pathogenesis. In this study, we show that the quorum …

Thirty-five thousand people die as a result of more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant
infections in the United States of America per year. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P …

Copper is widely used as antimicrobial in agriculture and medicine. Copper tolerance
mechanisms of pathogenic bacteria have been proven to be required for both copper …

Transcriptional profiles of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exposed to two separate copper stress
conditions were determined. Actively growing bacteria subjected to a pulse of elevated …

A sequencing project identified a putative copper homeostasis gene, cueA, in Pseudomonas
aeruginosa strain PAO1. Strains with mutations of the cueA gene, encoding a P-type …
