Abstract excerpt

The mucA gene of the muc operon, which is instrumental in the control of the biosynthesis of the exopolysaccharide alginate, is a hotspot of mutation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a micro-organism that chronically colonizes the airways of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). The mucA, mucB and mucD genes were sequenced in nine environmental isolates from aquatic habitats, and in 37 P. aeruginosa strains isolated...
