Objective:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause serious infections, especially in health care settings where host defense is impaired. In addition to resistance problem, the different virulence characteristics of these bacteria can change the course of infection and cure. In this study, it was aimed to determine antibiotic susceptibilities, epidemiological relations and virulence factors of clinical P. aeruginosa isolates.
Methods:This study was performed, a total of 83 P. aeruginosa isolated from different clinical samples of
