Popis: Bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa (CRPA) has high mortality in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. We performed MIC, checkerboard, time-kill assay, PFGE, PCR, and whole genome sequence and described the clinical outcome through Epi Info comparing the antimicrobial combination in vitro. Mortality was higher in BSI caused by CRPA carrying the lasB virulence gene. The isolates were 97% resistant to meropenem displaying synergistic effect to 57% in combination with colistin. Seventy-three percent of the isolates harbored bla
