Vegetables and rhizospheres as the reservoir for extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Access Microbiology, 2022
Pseudomonas aeruginosais an urgent threat pathogen due to its evolving resistance to multiple antibiotics. Agricultural soil and plants are the vast reservoirs of this much-dreaded opportunistic bacterium. A few human isolates of P. aeruginosa are known to infect plants and insects.
