Background/Methods The molecular epidemiology of the chronic airway infections with
Pseudomonas aeruginosa in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) was investigated by cross …

Chronic lower airway infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major contributor to
morbidity and mortality in individuals suffering from the genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF) …

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

The airways of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) often become chronically infected with
unique strains of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Several lines of …

Chronic respiratory infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a significant determinant in the
prognosis of cystic fibrosis patients. Cross-infection between cystic fibrosis patients and the …

The patient-to-patient transmission of highly prevalent Pseudomonas aeruginosa clones
which are associated with enhanced disease progression has led to strict segregation …

Rationale: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the predominant cause of chronic airway infections of
patients with cystic fibrosis, exhibits extensive phenotypic diversity among isolates within …

The current authors aimed to examine whether cystic fibrosis (CF) patients in Belgium
shared Pseudomonas aeruginosa genotypes and to compare the genotypes of isolates from …

Arbitrarily primed PCR (AP-PCR) was utilized to genetically fingerprint 252 Pseudomonas
aeruginosa strains isolated from the sputa of 50 cystic fibrosis (CF) patients attending the …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa chronically infects the lower airways
of patients with cystic fibrosis. Throughout the course of infection this organism undergoes …
