Intestinal Tissues Induce an SNP Mutation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa That Enhances Its Virulence: Possible Role in Anastomotic Leak

Intestinal Tissues Induce an SNP Mutation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa That Enhances Its Virulence: Possible Role in Anastomotic Leak

The most feared complication following intestinal resection is anastomotic leakage. In high risk areas (esophagus/rectum) where neoadjuvant chemoradiation is used, the incidence of anastomotic leaks remains unacceptably high (∼10%) even when performed by specialist surgeons in high volume centers.
