Abstract

The aim of this research is a review study of virulence factor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa  pathogen which can be isolated from different infection types. Most infections accompanying this bacteria have a variable virulence factors increasing bacterial pathogenicity. The treatment of Pseudomonas infections is maintained by antibiotics though in hospitalized patients; the treatment of these infections is becoming harder as a result of the increasing amount of antibiotic-resistant strains.
