The intestinal environment of surgical injury transforms Pseudomonas aeruginosa into a discrete hypervirulent morphotype capable of causing lethal peritonitis

BACKGROUND: Secondary peritonitis continues to carry a high mortality rate despite aggressive use of imaging, drainage and antibiotics. Although host factors and microbial burden contribute to the outcome of peritonitis, here we propose a role bacterial virulence as a determinant of outcome from per...
