The basic defect in cystic fibrosis (CF) predisposes to chronic bacterial airway infections,
particularly with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Airway infections with P. aeruginosa in …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa chronic infections are the major cause of high morbidity and
mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients due to the use of sophisticated mechanisms of …

Cystic fibrosis (CF) airways disease represents an example of polymicrobial infection
whereby different bacterial species can interact and influence each other. In CF patients …

Genome analyses have documented that there are differences in gene repertoire between
evolutionary distant lineages of the same bacterial species; however, less is known about …

Abstract Background We previously identified Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates with
characteristics typical of chronic infection in some early infections in children with cystic …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is among the main colonizers of the
lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. We have isolated and sequenced several P …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the dominant pathogen infecting the airways of cystic fibrosis
(CF) patients. During the intermittent colonization phase, P. aeruginosa resembles …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the main microbial species colonizing the lungs of cystic
fibrosis patients and is responsible for the decline in respiratory function. Despite the hostile …

Rationale: Staphylococcus aureus is the most common respiratory pathogen isolated from
patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) in the United States. Although modes of acquisition and …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from the chronic lung infections of cystic fibrosis (CF)
patients are phenotypically and genotypically diverse. Using strain PAO1 whole genome …
