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

Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are prevalent lung pathogens in
cystic fibrosis (CF). Whereas co-infection worsens the clinical outcome, prototypical strains …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are the two most prevalent bacteria
species in the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and are associated with poor clinical …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is able to thrive in diverse ecological
niches and to cause serious human infection. P. aeruginosa environmental strains are …

The ability to establish lifelong persistent infections is a fundamental aspect of the
interactions between many pathogenic microorganisms and their mammalian hosts. One …

Rationale: During long-term lung infection in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), Pseudomonas
aeruginosa strains develop mutations leading to clonal expansion. This microevolution is …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most prevalent pathogen of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung
disease. Its long persistence in CF airways is associated with sophisticated mechanisms of …

Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are key
bacterial pathogens of the respiratory tract in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Although P …

Repeated cycles of infections, caused mainly by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, combined with
a robust host immune response and tissue injury, determine the course and outcome of …

The dominant cause of premature death in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF) is
chronic lung infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The chronic lung infection often lasts …
