Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common opportunistic and nosocomial pathogen that causes severe infections with a high mortality rate, especially in immune compromised patients or those with underlying diseases. The increasing prevalence of MDR P. aeruginosa isolates is a global health problem, because of the limitation in clinical treatment options. Nowadays, imtensive clinical use of carbapenems has caused the presence of carbapenem resistant P. aeruginosa populations
