Abstrakt: Pseudomonas aeruginosais a Gram-negative bacterium that causes severe infections, especially in hospitalised and immunocompromised patients. Polymyxins are the last therapeutic option to treat infections caused by this micro-organism. Here we describe a polymyxin-resistant P. aeruginosaassigned as sequence type (ST) 245 for the first time in Brazil.
