First study on Pseudomonas aeruginosa antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and epidemiology in Bolivia
This is the first nationwide study on Pseudomonas aeruginosa antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and epidemiology in Bolivia. 140 healthcare-associated isolates have been characterized by broth microdilution and whole-genome sequencing. Approx. 80% of the isolates are XDR and belong to the high-risk clones ST235, ST277 and ST308.
