conclusions this study represented an increasing rate of mdr p. aeruginosa in burn and wound samples. efflux mexab genes were detected in all mdr and pdr strains. the p. aeruginosa strain isolated from burn cases showed higher drug resistance and pdr resistance was only noted in a burn sample. materials and methods one-hundred and fifty p. aeruginosa were isolated from burn and wound infections...

Background: This study was done to detect multidrug resistant (MDR) and extremely drug resistant (XDR) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa among strains isolated from patients in Tehran, Iran, due to importance of these phenotypes in treatment of human infections. Methods: Eighty eightP. aeruginosa were isolated from patients in Tehran, Iran, and identified by routine...

conclusions this study detected multiple drug resistance (mdr) in p. aeruginosa including aminoglycosides. therefore, identification of drug resistance patterns in p. aeruginosa is of great importance in prevention and control of infections in burn patient centers. background the prevalence of resistance to aminoglycosides among p. aeruginosa isolates has increased all around the world. the res...
