Effect of antibiotic-induced morphological changes on surface properties, motility and adhesion of nosocomial Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains under different physiological states.

Abstract excerpt

AIM: To investigate the influence of antibiotic-induced morphological changes on adhesion and motility abilities and surface properties of nosocomial Pseudomonas aeruginosa under different physiological states. METHODS AND RESULTS: The effects of subinhibitory concentration (sub-MIC) of Piperacillin/Tazobactam (P/T) and Imipenem (IMP) were studied on P. aeruginosa adhesion (1 h) using a modified microtitre-plate...
