Worldwide distribution of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> clone C strains in the aquatic environment and cystic fibrosis patients

Abstract excerpt

Highly successful bacterial clones have the ability to effectively colonize environmental niches and patients. However, the factors which determine the complex interplay between the colonization of environmental niches and patients are mainly unknown. In this study we show that Pseudomonas aeruginosa clone C strains are distributed worldwide and highly prone to infect cystic fibrosis (CF) patients in Canada,...
