Molecular analysis for the OprD gene among Pseudomonas aueroginosa clinical isolates obtained from hospitals in Jordan

Conclusions: A significant alteration in the OprD gene inP. aeruginosa clinical isolates was found. Alterations in the OprD gene could be linked to protein permeability of the outer membrane ofP. aeruginosaassociated with meropenem resistance. Further investigations with a larger number of bacterial isolates are needed to validate the proposed association.
