Journal ArticleDOI
Pseudomonas aeruginosa with lasI quorum-sensing deficiency during corneal infection.
Hua Zhu,Rani Bandara,Tim C.R. Conibear,Sophy J Thuruthyil,Scott A. Rice,Staffan Kjelleberg,Michael Givskov,Mark D. P. Willcox +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that quorum-sensing deficiency may occur naturally in clinical isolates, and the possession of lasI and hence a functional Las quorum -sensing system may be important in development of corneal infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quorum-sensing regulation of adhesion in Serratia marcescens MG1 is surface dependent.
Maurizio Labbate,Hua Zhu,Leena Thung,Rani Bandara,Martin R. Larsen,Mark D. P. Willcox,Michael Givskov,Scott A. Rice,Staffan Kjelleberg +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that S. marcescens MG1 utilizes different regulatory systems and adhesins in attachment to biotic and abiotic surfaces and that QS is a main regulatory pathway in adhesion to an abiotic surface but not in adherence to a biotic surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fimbrolide-coated antimicrobial lenses: their in vitro and in vivo effects.
Hua Zhu,Ashok Kumar,Jerome Ozkan,Rani Bandara,Aidong Ding,Indrani Perera,Peter D. Steinberg,Naresh Kumar,William Lao,Stefani S. Griesser,Leanne Britcher,Hans J. Griesser,Mark D. P. Willcox +12 more
TL;DR: Fimbrolide-coated lenses show promise as an antibacterial and anti-acanthamoebal coating on contact lenses and appear to be safe when worn on the eye in an animal model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Type III Secretion System–Associated Toxins, Proteases, Serotypes, and Antibiotic Resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates Associated with Keratitis
TL;DR: The results suggest that multidrug resistance may be more commonly associated with the corneal isolates of P. aeruginosa having type III secretion system-associated cytotoxin gene exoU and belonging to serotype E (O:11) group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial adhesion to unworn and worn silicone hydrogel lenses.
Ajay Kumar Vijay,Hua Zhu,Jerome Ozkan,Duojia Wu,Simin Masoudi,Rani Bandara,Roya Borazjani,Mark D. P. Willcox +7 more
TL;DR: Adhesion of bacteria, regardless of genera/species or lens wear, was generally correlated with the hydrophobicity of the lens; the less hydrophobic the lens surface, the greater the adhesion.
