Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the major concerns in clinical
settings impelling a great challenge to antimicrobial therapy for patients with infections …

Multidrug resistance is quite common among non-fermenting Gram-negative rods, in
particular among clinically relevant species including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and …

Metallo-β-lactamases are resistance determinants of increasing clinical relevance in Gram-
negative bacteria. Because of their broad range, potent carbapenemase activity and …

Metallo-β-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MPPA) is an important
nosocomial pathogen that shows resistance to all β-lactam antibiotics except monobactams …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii are major nosocomial pathogens
worldwide. Both are intrinsically resistant to many drugs and are able to become resistant to …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains exhibit significant variability in pathogenicity and
ecological flexibility. Such interstrain differences reflect the dynamic nature of the P …

Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important opportunistic pathogen responsible
for many infections in hospitalized and immunocompromised patients. Previous reports …

The plasmids of the incompatibility (Inc) group IncP-1, also called IncP, as
extrachromosomal genetic elements can transfer and replicate virtually in all Gram-negative …

The increased prevalence of β-lactamases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa has begun to
reduce the clinical efficacy of β-lactams against the most common opportunistic pathogen. Of …

Scandinavia is considered a region with a low prevalence of antimicrobial resistance.
However, the number of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria is increasing …
