Type III Secretion System Genotypes and Biofilm-Forming Capacity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bloodstream Isolates: An Exploratory Analysis of the exoU–Fluoroquinolone Association
The pathogenicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in bloodstream infection is shaped by biofilm formation and the type III secretion system (T3SS). We characterised the biofilm-associated and T3SS genotypes of 100 non-duplicate bloodstream isolates and tested whether either trait co-segregates with antimicrobial resistance....
