ABSTRACT
Salman RA, Al-haddad
ZA., Effect of Pyocyanin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa on Aspergillus
fumigatus from patients and sheep with chronic respiratory infection, Onl J Vet Res., 25(2): 131 -142, 2021. We report effect
of pyocyanin extracted from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
on growth of Aspergillus
fumigatus isolated from sputum and nasal discharges of 100 patients and
sheep with chronic respiratory infection,
determined by nasal discharge, dyspnea and coughing. We isolated P. aeruginosa from 4 patients and 5
sheep and A. fumigatus from 12 subjects and 2 sheep. Pyocyanin was extracted from P. aeruginosa grown on
king’s B broth to yield 3000µg/ml. We tested 250 to 6000 µg/ml pyocyanin on growth of A. fumigatus on sabouraud dextrose
agar after 7 days of 25ᵒc incubation with 250 µg/ml
inhibiting ~37% 500 ~50%, 1000 ~63%,
2000 81%, 3000 87 4000 95% and 6000 µg/ml 100%. We find that pyocyanin from P.
aeruginosa inhibits A. fumigatus from respiratory infections in vitro in a dose dependent manner.
Key words: Pyocyanin, P.
aeruginosa, A. fuminatus isolates, human, sheep.
