Pseudomonas aeruginosa properties

Examples of preservatives are phenylmercuric nitrate or acetate (0.002% w/v), chlorhexidine acetate (0.01 % w/v), thiomersal (0.01 % w/v) and benzalkorrium chloride (0.01 % w/v). Chlorocresol is too toxic to the comeal epithehum, but 8-hydroxyquinoline and thiomersal may be used in specific instances. The principal considerahon in relation to antimicrobial properties is the activity of the bactericide against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a major source of serious nosocomial eye infections. Although benzal-konium chloride is probably the most active of the recommended preservatives, it cannot always be used because of its incompatibility with many compounds commonly used to treat eye diseases, nor should it be used to preserve eye-drops containing anaesthetics. Since benzalkonium chloride reacts with natural mbber, silicone or butyl rabber teats should be substituted. Since silicone mbber is permeable to water vapour, products should not be stored for more than 3 months after manufacture. As with all mbber components, the mbber teat should be pre-equilibrated with the preservative prior to...

Table 5.2 contains data about selected copper enzymes from the references noted. It should be understood that enzymes from different sources—that is, azurin from Alcaligenes denitrificans versus Pseudomonas aeruginosa, fungal versus tree laccase, or arthropodan versus molluscan hemocyanin—will differ from each other to various degrees. Azurins have similar tertiary structures—in contrast to arthropodan and molluscan hemocyanins, whose tertiary and quaternary structures show large deviations. Most copper enzymes contain one type of copper center, but laccase, ascorbate oxidase, and ceruloplasmin contain Type I, Type II, and Type III centers. For a more complete and specific listing of copper enzyme properties, see, for instance, the review article by Solomon et al.4...
