An intragenic deletion in pilQ leads to nonpiliation of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain isolated from cystic fibrosis lung.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 May 2007

Chang Yu-Sing Tammy, Klockgether Jens, Tümmler Burkhard

Abstract excerpt

Deficient motility is one of the characteristic hallmarks observed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains that chronically colonize the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Pseudomonas aeruginosa TB is a nonpiliated CF isolate known to be defective in twitching motility. Complementation confirmed a direct link of this phenotype to an intragenic out-of-frame deletion in pilQ (PA5040). Sequence alignment of pilQ...
