Comparative genomic analysis of clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from Iraq: insights into genome diversity, antimicrobial resistance, and phylogenetic relatedness.

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a high-priority opportunistic pathogen of public health concern. Its large, complex genome, rich in transferable genetic elements, enables rapid acquisition of antibiotic resistance and contributes to its natural tolerance to antibiotics and disinfectants. Among fifty-two clinical isolates, shotgun whole-genome sequencing was conducted on four clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa from...
