Mucoid<i>Pseudomonas</i>in Cystic Fibrosis

20 Jun 2007

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a frequent and virulent pulmonary pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis. If colonization is not prevented, P aeruginosa becomes permanently established and nearly always mutates into a mucoid strain. The alginate-containing matrix of the mucoid strain is thought to allow the formation of protected microcolonies and provide increased resistance to opsonization, phagocytosis, and...
