The Widespread Multidrug-Resistant Serotype O12 <named-content content-type="genus-species">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</named-content> Clone Emerged through Concomitant Horizontal Transfer of Serotype Antigen and Antibiotic Resistance Gene Clusters

ABSTRACT The O-specific antigen (OSA) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide is highly varied by sugar identity, side chains, and bond between O-repeats.
