Multidrug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: do virulence properties impact on resistance patterns?

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients with nosocomial infections are at risk of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa since these bacteria slow down the entire treatment process, increasing the morbidity and mortality of patients staying in hospital. The purpose of the research was to assess the simultaneous presence of multidrug resistance and virulence factors among nosocomial strains of P. aeruginosa to evaluate significant association among them.

Methods

One hundred and eight clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa were found in a variety of samples taken from patients having nosocomial infection, including wound swabs, pus, sputum, tracheal aspirate, and urine. An antibiogram was performed to investigate the pathogen's antibiotic sensitivity pattern against 1
