Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the characterization of mucA gene mutation in clinically isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.aeruginosa), and the relation between mucA mutation and the mucoid phenotype. METHODS: A total of 58 strains of P. aeruginosa were collected. Of them, 8 were nonmucoid phenotype and 50 were mucoid phenotype. We detected mucA mutations with PCR-SSCP and sequencing analysis. Alginate was examined by...
