Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent P. aeruginosa coexpressing exoS/exoU in Brazil
P. aeruginosa carrying exoS/exoU in Brazil is rare, although they may occur in the clinic associated with carbapenem resistance. Furthermore, although belonging to a different ST, the Brazilian strain PA27N presented exoS/exoU expression levels similar to the hypervirulent P. aeruginosa strains occurring in China.
