Role for rpoS gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in antibiotic tolerance.
Keiji Murakami,Tsuneko Ono,Darija Viducic,Shizuo Kayama,Makiko Mori,Katsuhiko Hirota,Ken Nemoto,Yoichiro Miyake +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that rpoS gene is involved in tolerance to antibiotics in P. aeruginosa during the stationary phase and heat stress, however, under osmotic stress, tolerance to biapenem was not dependent on the r poS gene.

Coating of a surface with 2‐methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) co‐polymer significantly reduces retention of human pathogenic microorganisms
TL;DR: The present study compares the retention of four species that are often isolated in association with biomedical device-related infections - Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans - to three different surfaces and attributes this effect to the "superhydrophilicity" of MPC-coated surfaces.

Effect of Varidase (Streptodornase) on Biofilm Formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Ken Nemoto,Katsuhiko Hirota,Keiji Murakami,Kazuko Taniguti,Hiromi Murata,Darija Viducic,Yoichiro Miyake +6 more
TL;DR: The result of this experiment indicates that the DNases, DNase I and Varidase, were effective in destroying the biofilm of P. aeruginosa in vitro, and in a clinical field,Varidase could be useful for P. Aerug inosa focal infection, such as urinary tract infection, by removing the bio Film.

Effect of Varidase (streptokinase) on biofilm formed by Staphylococcus aureus.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Varidase is highly effective in destroying biofilms of S. aureus in vitro and suggested that this drug would be useful for treating staphylococcal infections.

An Investigation of Gram-Negative Tannin-Protein Complex Degrading Bacteria in Fecal Flora of Various Mammals
TL;DR: Gram-negative tannin-protein complex degrading bacteria (T-PCDB) were first isolated from animals except for the koala, and two strains, Haemophilus actinomycetemcomitans NIAH-10202T and Hahemophilus segnis NIA h10183T which were isolated from human oral cavity were detected positive for tannase.
