Multidrug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: do virulence properties impact on resistance patterns? by Poulomi Saha, Rubaiya Binte Kabir, Chowdhury Rafiqul Ahsan, Mahmuda Yasmin

“…The virulence genes (lasB, exoS, toxA, aprA, algD, and plcH) were detected within a range of 60–80% of the isolates.DiscussionOnly the toxA gene and twitching motility showed a significant correlation (p-value = 0.001 and 0.028, respectively) with multidrug resistance in the clinical P. aeruginosa isolates which indicates that it can be used as a drug target to combat these organisms. The high prevalence of MDR strains and their association with virulence factors revealed the potential of the pathogen to cause an infection. …”
