Most clinical isolates identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa grow on long-chain n-alkanes,
while environmental P. aeruginosa isolates often grow on medium-as well as long-chain n …

Most known virulence determinants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are remarkably conserved
in this bacterium's core genome, yet individual strains differ significantly in virulence. One …

Key to Pseudomonas aeruginosa's ability to thrive in a diversity of niches is the presence of
numerous genomic islands that confer adaptive traits upon individual strains. We reasoned …

Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be phenotypically classified by their mode of
pathogenicity as either invasive, where the bacterium is internalised by host cells, or …

Genomic hybridization on whole genome arrays detects the presence or absence of similar
DNA regions in sufficiently related microorganisms, allowing genome-wide comparison of …

Abstract Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa Sequence Type 235 is a clone that
possesses an extraordinary ability to acquire mobile genetic elements and has been …

Background The role played by airway infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the
course and pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has not yet …

The most common mutation in the CFTR gene in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), ΔF508,
leads to the absence of CFTR Cl− channels in the apical plasma membrane, which in turn …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most frequent agents of urinary tract infections
especially in patients with indwelling urethral catheters. A total of 30 P. aeruginosa isolates …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa has a wide ecological distribution that includes natural habitats
and clinical settings. To analyze the population structure and distribution of P. aeruginosa, a …
