Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause many nosocomial infections. Biofilm formation, drug resistance, and motility contribute to virulence in P. aeruginosa. This study assessed the colistin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), biofilm formation, presence of mod A and psl A genes, and types of motilities in multidrug-resistant (MDR) and multidrug-susceptible (MDS) P. aeruginosa.

Methods

Sixty-two P. aeruginosa from pus and 18 from urine samples were studied for their susceptibility to commonly used antibiotics, colistin MIC by agar dilution, and biofilm-forming ability by the microtiter plate method. All MDR and MDS P. aeruginosa isolates were tested for the presence of mod A an
