Association between Antimicrobial Resistance and Biofilm Formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Urinary Tract Infections
Afrah Obaid Salman Abstract : Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important opportunistic pathogen associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly in healthcare settings, and is characterized by a high capacity for antimicrobial resistance. Its ability to form biofilms may enhance bacterial persistence within the urinary tract and reduce susceptibility to antimicrobial therapy. Molecular characterization of
