Antibiotic resistance, biofilm production ability and genetic diversity of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from nosocomial infections in southwestern Iran.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: This study was aimed to evaluate the antibiotic resistance, biofilm formation, and genetic diversity of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) strains isolated from four types of nosocomial infections (NIs) including urinary tract infection (UTI), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), surgical site infection (SSI), and bloodstream infection (BSI). METHODS AND RESULTS: In total, 115...
