Genetic and virulence factors behind the success of high-risk Pseudomonas aeruginosa clones: insights from comparative genomics and an experimental infection model
31 Oct 2025
Abstract excerpt
Introduction Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes severe healthcare-associated infections. High-risk clones are defined by global dissemination and multidrug resistance, yet virulence is heterogeneous. We sought to map accessory-genome determinants associated with high-risk clones by integrating whole-genome sequencing (WGS) with a Caenorhabditis elegans infection model. Methods We analyzed 84 clinical isolates plus...
