It's Not Easy Being Green: A Narrative Review on the Microbiology, Virulence and Therapeutic Prospects of Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Payam Behzadi et al.

Summary: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common pathogen that affects immunocompromised patients and immunocompetent patients alike. Its resistance mechanisms, classified into intrinsic and acquired, can lead to antibiotic ineffectiveness.

Mobile Carbapenemase Genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Eun-Jeong Yoon et al.

Summary: This article highlights the challenge of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in clinical settings, focusing on the global mechanisms of carbapenem resistance and the horizontal dissemination of drug resistance determinants through mobile genetic elements. The review also examines the modular mobile elements, including carbapenemase-encoding genes, for their structures and implications in antimicrobial therapy.

Outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing VIM carbapenemase in an intensive care unit and its termination by implementation of waterless patient care

Gaud Catho et al.

Summary: This study successfully demonstrated that implementing waterless patient care and removing sinks in patient rooms was effective in terminating a PA-VIM ICU outbreak linked to multiple environmental water sources. WGS provided highly discriminatory accuracy for investigating environment-related outbreaks.
