Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes infections in a wide variety of hosts and is the leading cause of mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Although most clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa share common virulence determinants, it is known that strains evolve and change phenotypically during CF lung infections. These changes can include alterations in the levels of N-acyl homoserine lactones (HSLs), which are...
