Does pseudomonus produce exotoxin?
Yes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces several exotoxins, including exotoxin A, which is a major virulence factor. This toxin inhibits protein synthesis in host cells, contributing to tissue damage and the severity of infections. Additionally, Pseudomonas can produce other toxins and enzymes that enhance its ability to cause disease, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.
What treatments are given to people suffering from cystic fibrosis?
there are different forms of treatments given to suit individuals. physiotherapy is very important to clear the chest of mucus and maintain a good lung function. this can be achieved by tapping the back (mainly in children and males), through breathing techniques such as AD and via pieces of equipment such as the flutter and the vest which are airway clearance systems. also antibiotic nebulisers (such as the I-NEB) are used to treat permenant infections such as pseudomonus. when a patient suffers from a drop in lung function or chest infection, IV antibiotics are the best treatment. hope this all helps!
What is the colony morphology for pseudomonas fluorescens?
P. morabilis is characterized by its swarming ability. On a nutritive media plate the organism will swarm the entire plate due to its hyper mobility from its peritrichious flagella. Colonies can generally be seen to be opaque with irregular borders and have a smooth texture.
