Exploration of intracytosolic levels of LDs during the interaction between red blood cells and macrophages infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacterium known for its ability to cause a wide range of infections. It belongs to the Pseudomonadaceae family. It is an opportunistic pathogen that particularly affects individuals with compromised immune systems or underlying health conditions [1]. P. aeruginosa produces a variety of virulence factors that contribute to its pathogenicity. It is frequently found in aquatic environments, rhizosphere, hospitals and other healthcare settings and industrial settings. It exhibits intrinsic and acquired resistance to many antibiotics due to its impermeable outer membrane, efflux pumps, and ability to produce β-lactamases and other enzymes that degrade antibiotics.
