Whole-genome sequencing reveals high-risk clones of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Guangdong, China.

ABSTRACT: The ever-increasing prevalence of infections produced by multidrug-resistant or extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is commonly linked to a limited number of aptly-named epidemical 'high-risk clones' that are widespread among and within hospitals worldwide. The emergence of new potential high-risk clone strains in hospitals highlights the need to better and further understand the underlying genetic mechanisms for their emergence and success. P. aeruginosa related high-risk clones have been sporadically found in China, their genome sequences have rarely been described. Therefore, the large-scale sequencing of multidrug-resistance high-risk clone strains will help us to understand the emergence and transmission of antibiotic resistances in P. aeruginosa hig
