Abstract excerpt
In Brazil, the spread of an endemic clone of SPM-1-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been reported. Recently, a higher genomic variety has been observed among the SPM-1-producing P. aeruginosa isolates. The principal aim of this study was to analyze through multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis whether the recently isolated SPM-1-producing P. aeruginosa descend or not from a common ancestor. A total of 50...
