Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA8281 genome sequencing and assembly. Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain:PA8281

This study was undertaken to determine the possible presence of genetic factors associated with the emergence, successful spread, and persistence of this clone in the Brazilian institutions. In addition, we also aimed to compare the genome of the SPM-1-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains collected from a single intensive care unit in a twelve-year period in order to evaluate if this clone had suffered any temporal changes.
