Abstract

Psudomonas aeruginosa is ubiquitous in nature and is an important opportunistic pathogen, accounting for 10-11% of all bacterial species recovered from nosocomial infections. 1,2 P. aeruginosa infections are often associated with high mortality in patients with cancer, burn wounds, organ transplants and cystic fibrosis (CF). 3 Precise typing helps in the identification of environmental sources as well as indicating whether transmission of strains has ocurred between patients. It also reveals whether resistant strains which emerge after antibiotic therapy are variants of the original or are newly acquired strains
