Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate P. Aeruginosa isolates from cancer patients for the phenotypic pattern of antibiotic resistance and to detect the gene responsible for virulence as well as antibiotic resistance. Methods: A total of 227 P. aeruginosa isolates were studied and...
