Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes acute and chronic infections in humans and these infections are difficult to treat due to the bacteria's high-level of intrinsic and acquired resistance to antibiotics. To address this problem, it is crucial to investigate the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in this organism. In this study, a P. aeruginosa transposon insertion library of 17000 clones was constructed and...
