Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a metabolically versatile bacterium that can cause a wide
range of severe opportunistic infections in patients with serious underlying medical …

Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa eye infections often becomes a challenge due to the
ability of this bacterium to be resistant to antibiotics via intrinsic and acquired mechanisms …

Biofilms are ensued due to bacteria that attach to surfaces and aggregate in a hydrated
polymeric matrix. Formation of these sessile communities and their inherent resistance to …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes a variety of acute and chronic
infections. We identified a gene whose inactivation results in attenuation of virulence due to …

Biofilms are organized multicellular communities encased in an extracellular polymeric
substance (EPS). Biofilm-resident bacteria resist immunity and antimicrobials. The EPS …

Aim: To determine the incidence of non-severe keratitis (NSK) and severe keratitis (SK)
among wearers of current generation contact lenses. Methods: A 12 month, prospective …

The important human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been linked to numerous
biofilm-related chronic infections. Here, we demonstrate that biofilm formation following the …

Invasion of nonphagocytic cells through rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton is a
common immune evasion mechanism used by most intracellular bacteria. However, some …

Stromal transparency is a critical factor contributing to normal function of the visual system.
Corneal injury, surgery, disease and infection elicit complex wound healing responses that …

Ocular infections can be medical emergencies that result in permanent visual impairment or
blindness and loss of quality of life. Bacteria are a major cause of ocular infections. Effective …
