The relationships and susceptibilities of some industrial, laboratory and clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to some antibiotics and biocides

Abstract

The work shows that antibiotic/biocide correlations do occur, especially with clinical strains. That such correlations were not found with industrial isolates suggests that the clinical environment is responsible for the correlation. We could infer that it is the selective pressure of antibiotic usage that differentiates the clinical environment from the industrial.
