Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) from acute and chronic (eg, cystic fibrosis (CF)) infections differ in several respects, but they can worsen prognosis in each context. Factors that facilitate conversion from an acute to chronic phenotype are poorly understood. T3 secretion proteins are virulence factors associated with poorer outcomes in acute infections, but little is known about their role in CF. We wished to...
