摘要

The biological properties of nine clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa obtained from five patients with cystic fibrosis were assessed. Six different sequence types of P. aeruginosa with different biofilm-forming abilities were detected. It was found that at the initial stage of adhesion, four isolates were tobramycin-resistant, while in the formed biofilm, almost 100% survival was recorded. The properties of the isolates were associated with the sequence type: when it changed, the biofilm-forming ability decreased, but the number of viable cells resistant to tobramycin at a concentration of 2 μg/ml increased. The study shows that the existence of a biofilm is a key factor ensuring, despite constant antimicrobial therapy, the long-term persistence of P. aeruginosa in patients with cystic fibrosis.
