Abstract excerpt
Serious infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa are frequently treated with the combination of a beta-lactam antimicrobial and an aminoglycoside. P. aeruginosa strain PA0905 was isolated in 2005 from an inpatient in Brazil. It showed a panresistant phenotype that included resistance to beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, and fluoroquinolones. The beta-lactam resistance was conferred by the production of the...
