[Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance in urinary tract infection].

Among the most frequent nosocomial infections associated with polyresistant bacteria and with a worse prognosis, are those produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This bacterium has a high capacity to adapt to adverse conditions such as pH and osmolarity of urine. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the main pathogens involved in nosocomial infections and immunosuppressed patients.
