Many clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa cause infections that are difficult to
eradicate due to their resistance to a wide variety of antibiotics. Key genetic determinants of …

Using a large multicenter prospective cohort of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia, we
demonstrate that the exoU type III secretion system genotype is independently associated …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is among the leading causes of severe nosocomial infections,
particularly affecting critically ill and immunocompromised patients. Here we review the …

Recent reports have revealed the existence of widespread extensively drug-resistant (XDR)
