Seventy-four of 403 (18.4%) sputum isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from 49 of 136 (36.0%) adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) were auxotrophic mutants. Two of 11 (18.2%) isolates of P. aeruginosa taken from patients with non-CF bronchiectasis were also auxotrophic. All 99 strains taken from non-bronchiectatic sources were prototrophic. Forty-six of 55 (83.6%) CF auxotrophs required one or more of 36 growth factors tested; the requirements for the remaining 9 isolates were not identified. Methionine was the sole factor required by 17 of 22 (77.3%) isolated which depended on a single factor. We conclude that auxotrophy is a feature of P. aeruginosa infection in cystic fibrosis.
在136名成年囊性纤维化(CF)患者中,有49名(36.0%)患者的痰液分离出铜绿假单胞菌,其中403株中有74株(18.4%)为营养缺陷型突变体。从非CF支气管扩张症患者中分离出的11株铜绿假单胞菌中有2株(18.2%)也是营养缺陷型。从非支气管扩张症来源获取的所有99株菌株都是原养型。55株CF营养缺陷型菌株中有46株(83.6%)需要所测试的36种生长因子中的一种或多种;其余9株菌株的需求未明确。蛋氨酸是22株(77.3%)依赖单一因子的分离菌株中17株所需的唯一因子。我们得出结论,营养缺陷是囊性纤维化中铜绿假单胞菌感染的一个特征。
