Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes infections that are difficult to treat. This study reported, for the first time, the occurrence of last-resort antibiotic resistance determinants bla IMP-45 , tet (X6), and tmexCD3 - toprJ3 on a single plasmid in P. aeruginosa from chickens.
