Pefloxacin (33) is the N-methyl analogue of norfloxacin (58) and is at least partly converted to it by metabolic enzymes in vivo. It has been launched in France for the treatment of a number of infections including those caused by sensitive strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It can be synthesized starting with the Gould-Jacobs reaction of 3-chloro-4-fluoroaniline (28) and diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate in an addition-elimination sequence leading to 29 which undergoes... 

The combined intrinsic activities of different efflux pumps play a major role for the intrinsic resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to macrolides and oxazolidi-nones as well as to the intrinsic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa against a broad range of disinfectants and antibiotics.

One of the organisms fulfills the need for a growth requirement by the other, for example, vitamin requirements of one organism that is provided by the other. Examples are provided by biotin in cocultures of Methylocystis sp. and Xanthobacter sp. (Lidstrom-O Connor et al. 1983), and thiamin in cocultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and an undefined Pseudomonas sp. that degraded the phosphonate herbicide glyphosate (Moore et al. 1983).

Increased removal of phenanthrene from soil columns spiked with the rhamnolipid mixture synthesized by Pseudomonas aeruginosa UG2 has been demonstrated, and shown to depend both on the increased desorption of the substrate and on partitioning into micelles (Noordman et al. 1998). However, the addition of the biosurfactant from the same strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa UG2 or of sodium dodecyl sulfate had no effect on the rate of biodegradation of anthracene and phenanthrene from a chronically contaminated soil.

In complicated exacerbations with risk of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, recommended therapy includes a fluoroquinolone with enhanced pneumococcal and P. aeruginosa activity (levofloxacin). If IV therapy is required, a /f lactamase resistant penicillin with antipseudomonal activity or a third- or fourth-generation cephalosporin with antipseudomonal activity should be used.
