[Detection of phenazine genes in multi-drug resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates]

ABSTRACT

Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa [P. aeruginosa] is an opportunistic pathogen with numerous virulence factors considered to be one of the most etiological agents in nosocomial infections. The emergence of multi-drug resistant [MDR] P. aeruginosa has become a serious, worldwide public health threat. This study intended to determine the frequency of phzM, phzS, phzH, phzI, and phzII genes in MDR P. aeruginosa strains isolated from clinical samples
