Resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Antibiotics During Long-Term Persistence in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the leading causes of nosocomial respiratory tract infections, significantly affecting morbidity and mortality. It can persist in the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) for extended periods because of its adaptive capacity. The main aim of this study was to determine the phenotypic and genotypic resistance to antibiotics of clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa that persist...
