Phylogenetic evaluation and genotypic identification of burn-related Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from post-burn human infections during hospitalization.

Abstract excerpt

Cutaneous burn trauma, compromise of dermal layers and immune defense system is a physical and fiscal burden on healthcare systems. Burn-wound infections are a serious complication of thermal injury and contribute significantly to care burden. After burn-induced trauma, sepsis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa impairs patient recovery and contributes to mortality and morbidity. Past studies show positive correlation...
