Comparison of Lipid and Lipopolysaccharide of Wild Type Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Antibiotic Adapted Strains
Abstract
The mechanism of action of antibiotic resistance inherent in the readily extractable lipids (REL) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied. The REL of rifamycin resistant strains was compared to the REL of polymyxin resistant strains. Selected components of LPS of polymyxin-resistant and susceptible strains were analyzed to determine which component contributes the most in the exclusion mechanism of the outer membrane.
