<scp> <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> </scp> resistance patterns and clinical outcomes in hospitalized exacerbations of COPD

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa-resistant affects patients with severe AECOPD and previous use of corticosteroids and antibiotics. The presence of PA-S is associated with higher mortality. These results may suggest increased virulence in PA-S strains causing acute infections.
