Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, responsible for serious nosocomial-acquired infections, possesses intrinsic antibiotic resistance mechanisms and commonly exhibits multidrug resistance. Here, we report the evolving resistance profiles of strains isolated from the sputum of a patient being treated for repeated P. aeruginosa infections following cancer resection. Whole genome sequencing of six isolates obtained over a...
