Mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa and cystic fibrosis: resistance of the mucoid form to carbenicillin, flucloxacillin and tobramycin and the isolation of mucoid variants in vitro
Abstract
Mucoid strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from the sputa of patients with cystic fibrosis or in vitro through selection with phage were more resistant to carbenicillin, flucloxacillin and tobramycin and more sensitive to tetracycline than related non-mucoid strains. The observations led to the development of a technique for the isolation of mucoid variants in vitro based on enhanced resistance to carbenicillin. Mucoid variants were isolated from various strains of Ps. aeruginosa and the exopolysaccharide found to be similar to that obtained from mucoid Ps. aeruginosa isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
