Background: The emergence of multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRPA) as one of the leading nosocomial pathogens imposes a serious health threat due to limited antibiotic options. In this study, a sample of clonally distinct MDRPA and sensitive strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (SSPA) wer...
