<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Biofilms Exposed to Imipenem Exhibit Changes in Global Gene Expression and β-Lactamase and Alginate Production
26 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
The lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are commonly colonized with Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. Chronic endobronchial P. aeruginosa infections are impossible to eradicate with antibiotics, but intensive suppressive antibiotic therapy is essential to maintain the lung function of CF patients. The treatment often includes beta-lactam antibiotics. How these antibiotics influence gene expression in the...
