The Virulence Genes of Sensitive Strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa Causing Nosocomial Outbreaks
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen which is commonly associated with healthcare associated infection. They possess multiple pathogenic factors which play a role in causing invasive infections such as surgical site infection, pneumonia, and blood stream infection. There were two hosp...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen which is commonly associated with healthcare associated infection. They possess multiple pathogenic factors which play a role in causing invasive infections such as surgical site infection, pneumonia, and blood stream infection.

The outbreak investigation by Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) revealed seven clonally related P. aeruginosa strains (A-G). This study aims to determine the virulence factors acquired by the P. aeruginosa isolates and describe the clinical outcome of the patients.
