Burn wounds can create significant damage to human skin, compromising one of the key
barriers to infection. The leading cause of death among burn wound patients is infection …

Diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria in animals (eg, bacterial pneumonia, meningitis
and sepsis) and plants (eg, bacterial wilt, angular spot and canker) lead to high prevalence …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium causing several health problems
and having many virulence factors like biofilm formation on different surfaces. There is a …

Because burn injuries are often followed by a derailed immune response and excessive
inflammation, a thorough understanding of the occurring reactions is key to preventing …

Healthcare-associated infections are major causes of complications that lead to extended
hospital stays and significant medical costs. The use of medical devices, including catheters …

Abstract Using Sprague-Dawley rats (350–450 g; n= 61) and the recently updated Walker-
Mason rat scald burn model, we demonstrated that Pseudomonas aeruginosa readily …

Modern combat‐related injuries are often associated with acute polytrauma. As a
consequence of severe combat‐related injuries, a dysregulated immune response results in …

Using model systems in infection biology has led to the discoveries of many pathogen‐
encoded virulence factors and critical host immune factors to fight pathogenic infections …

Most knowledge about Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathoadaptation is derived from studies
on airway colonization in cystic fibrosis; little is known about adaptation in acute settings. P …

Burn wound injury affects soldiers and civilians alike, often resulting in a dynamic, but un-
orchestrated, host response that can lead to infection, scarring, and potentially death. To …
