Detection of a highly prevalent and potentially virulent strain of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</Emphasis> from nosocomial infections in a medical center

Background  

We correlated genotypes, virulence factors and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of nosocomially identified Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from clinical specimens to those of environmental isolates encountered in the same units of a medical center. Antibiotic susceptibility testing, RAPD analysis and detection of enzymatic activities of extracellular virulence factors, were done on these isolates.
