Abstract:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most feared Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. It is not only among the most frequently isolated Gram-negative organisms in bloodstream and wound infections, pneumonia, intra-abdominal-sepis and urogenital- sepis but it is also a major cause of bacterial complication leading to chronic colonisation and acute respiratory distress in cystic fibrosis patients. The increasing prevalence and spread of multidrug resistant strains threatens the efficacy of currently available antimicrobials.
