Antibiotic susceptibility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Saudi Arabia: a national antimicrobial resistance surveillance study
<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> demonstrated an unexpectedly high level of resistance to several commonly used antibiotics. Therefore, antimicrobial stewardship and infection control policies should be strictly enforced by hospitals across the country to optimize treatment, prevent the emergence and spread of resistant strains, and track resistance trends with local antibiograms.
