Dominance of International High-Risk Clones in Carbapenemase-Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Multicentric Molecular Epidemiology Report from India
1 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common opportunistic pathogens that cause severe infections in humans. The burden of carbapenem resistance is particularly high and is on the rise. Very little information is available on the molecular mechanisms and its clonal types of carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa seen in Indian hospitals. This study was undertaken to monitor the β-lactamase profile and...
