Co-harboring of mcr-1 and β-lactamase genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by high-resolution melting curve analysis (HRMA): Molecular typing of superbug strains in bloodstream infections (BSI).

CONCLUSION: CRPA strains play an essential role in the spread of antibiotic resistance in BSI. Likewise, the HRMA method was sensitive and specific for the detection of superbugs. Moreover, MLST analysis of a diverse collection of P. aeruginosa from blood culture suggests that particular strains or clonal complexes are associated with antibiotic resistance profile.
