Abstract
In addition to other gram-negative bacteria identified as agents at high rates in hospital infections, P. aeruginosa is particularly important with its epidemiological and microbiological characteristics. In this study, infections developing due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa were discussed and increased antibiotic resistance in these bacterial infections and new therapeutic approaches were investigated.
Keywords: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, hospital infection, antibiotic resistance
