Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from a hospital wastewater treatment plant (HWTP), focusing on enzyme-based mechanisms of β-lactams resistance and the genetic relatedness among isolates. METHODS AND RESULTS: Forty-one Ps. aeruginosa strains recovered from a HWTP were identified by amplification of 16S rRNA gene. β-lactamase production was screened by disc diffusion, CHROMagar...
