Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa represents a major challenge in pediatric healthcare, yet molecular epidemiological data from children in the Middle East are limited. This study aimed to characterize antimicrobial resistance patterns, carbapenemase gene profiles, and transmission dynamics in a tertiary pediatric hospital in Iran. METHODS: We analyzed 110 P. aeruginosa isolates from...
