Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the leading causes of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT), with a worldwide spread of difficult-to-treat high-risk clones. This study aimed to investigate the virulence potential and to characterize phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in P. aeruginosa causing VAP/VAT in the Intensive...
