Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa continues to be a leading cause of nosocomial bacteremia and other serious, often life-threatening infections. The incidence of P. aeruginosa infection appears to be increasing. The resilience of Pseudomonas in the hospital environment, its endogenous virulence factors, and its current level of resistance to antimicrobials make it a formidableKeywords
