[Pseudomonas putida: identification, antibiotic sensitivity and pathogenicity (author's transl)].

M L Loiseau-Marolleau, N Malarre

    Pathologie-Biologie
    |November 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study characterized 51 Pseudomonas putida strains from clinical and hospital settings, finding most belong to biotype A. The bacteria showed resistance to carbenicillin but sensitivity to kanamycin, with low experimental virulence.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Bacteriology

    Context:

    • Pseudomonas putida is an opportunistic pathogen found in clinical and hospital environments.
    • Understanding the characteristics of P. putida strains is crucial for infection control and treatment.

    Purpose:

    • To characterize 51 strains of Pseudomonas putida isolated from clinical specimens and hospital environments.
    • To determine the biotype, antibiogram, and experimental virulence of these P. putida strains.

    Summary:

    • Fifty-one Pseudomonas putida strains were analyzed using physiological, biochemical, and nutritional characterization.
    • The majority of strains (48/51) belonged to biotype A, with 3 strains classified as biotype B.
    • Antibiogram analysis revealed resistance to carbenicillin and sensitivity to kanamycin.
    • Experimental virulence studies in mice indicated low pathogenicity, with no correlation between virulence and bacterial source.
