Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Determinants of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> Isolates Cultured from Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Environmental Samples

Crude oil and its derivates are among the most important environmental pollutants, where <i>P. aeruginosa</i> strains producing AlkB1 and AlkB2 alkane hydroxylases are often involved in their biodegradation. The aim of this study was to analyze antibiotic resistance and virulence determi...
