Pseudomonas fluorescens Complex and Its Intrinsic, Adaptive, and Acquired Antimicrobial Resistance Mechanisms in Pristine and Human-Impacted Sites.

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas spp. are ubiquitous microorganisms that exhibit intrinsic and acquired resistance to many antimicrobial agents. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most studied species of this genus due to its clinical importance. In contrast, the Pseudomonas fluorescens complex consists of environmental and, in some cases, pathogenic opportunistic microorganisms. The records of antimicrobial-resistant P. fluorescens are quite scattered, which hinders the recognition of patterns. This review compiles published data on antimicrobial resistance in species belonging to the P. fluorescens complex, which were identified through phylogenomic analyses. Additionally, we explored the occurrence of clinically relevant antimicrobial resistance genes in the genomes of the resp
