In-Vitro Biofilm Formation and Antimicrobial Resistance of Metallo Beta-lactamase Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa of Clinical Origin

Nwankwo F. M.*, Iroha I. R, Awoke O. A, Ugbo E. N, Oke B

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients and patients with underlying medical conditions. The prevalence of biofilm formation and muti drug resistant strains of P. aeruginosa isolates has been on the increasing. This study was aimed at in-vitro biofilm formation in metallo beta-lactamase produ...
