Airway inflammation and chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are mostly
caused by bacteria, eg Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). The role of fungi in the CF lung is …

Galleria mellonella larvae have become a widely accepted and utilised infection model due
to the functional homology displayed between their immune response to infection and that …
