Population structure of clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa from West and Central African countries.
<h4>Background</h4>Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) has a non-clonal, epidemic population with a few widely distributed and frequently encountered sequence types (STs) called 'high-risk clusters'. Clinical P. aeruginosa (clinPA) has been studied in all inhabited continents excepted...
