【 摘 要 】

Chronic infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) isolates are mainly related to resistance to antimicrobials and the production of certain virulence factors. The purpose of this study was twofold: to investigate the prevalence of virulence genes and to study the relationship between biofilm formation/alginate production/antibiotic resistance and the presence of genes associated with biofilm, alginate, flagella and exotoxin A in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa.
