Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

Tom's of Maine ignored 'approximately 400 complaints' related to the color, taste, and odor of its toothpaste, per the FDA.

The Food and Drug Administration sent a letter to the company on Tuesday accusing it of not doing enough to address the problem.

It's unclear how the dogs became infected with the same strain in the eyedrops.

Drug-resistant bacteria could spread, investigator says

The retractile type IV pilus (T4P) is important for virulence of the opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) phage PP7 binds to T4P and is brought to the cell surface through pilus retraction. Using ...

New research has shown that disease-causing bacteria carried in the human gut can also survive in Martian soil, a discovery with implications for future...

Zosurabalpin has defeated strains of pneumonia and sepsis in mice, raising hopes for human trials

Antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" that can defeat efforts to kill them are an urgent public health crisis, and according to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year. Researchers across the world are scrambling to meet the challenge.

Government warnings, recalls have led to questions about the safety of relied-upon products

FDA was spurred into action by a deadly bacterial outbreak earlier this year, advocates say

The FDA recently cautioned against using dozens of kinds of eyedrops — its third warning this year — leading to some wondering whether any drops are safe to use. Eye doctors weigh in.

An age-old remedy that was prescribed by Hippocrates may be a cheap alternative to antibiotics for those with chronic wounds

In response to bacterial CRISPR–Cas immunity, phages and plasmids have evolved small non-coding RNA anti-CRISPRs, known as Racrs, that sequester Cas proteins in abberrant complexes and thereby inhibit immunity.

Using eye drops contaminated with bacteria can lead to a "life-threatening infection," FDA warns.

When it's not causing problems, earwax is good for your health and should be left alone.

People with weakened immune systems are at constant risk of infection. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common environmental bacterium, can colonize different body parts, such as the lungs, leading to persistent, chronic infections that can last a lifetime—a common occurrence in people with cystic fibrosis.

Qun Ren, an Empa researcher, and her team are currently developing a diagnostic procedure that can rapidly detect life-threatening blood poisoning caused by staphylococcus bacteria.

All the patients had been infected with a drug resistant strain of the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is resistant to standard antibiotics. Infections reported in 18 states.

Contaminated eyedrops are linked to at least 81 cases of drug-resistant bacterial infections, the CDC reported Friday. Four people have died and 14 have been blinded.

Months before U.S. health officials warned that tainted eye drops were causing vision loss and even death, a Cleveland woman lost the sight in her eye in a case that puzzled her doctors.
