The Burden of Antimicrobial‐Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates in Children With Cystic Fibrosis: Molecular Characterization and Genotyping Analysis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study highlights the prevalence of multidrug‐ and carbapenem‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in pediatric cystic fibrosis patients, along with the presence of carbapenemase‐encoding genes and genetic profiles, suggesting clonal spread. These findings underscore the urgent need for surveillance and strategies to combat resistant strains and ...
