Gene expression characteristics of a cystic fibrosis epidemic strain of<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>during biofilm and planktonic growth
5 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Epidemic Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been identified in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients worldwide. The Australian Epidemic Strain-2 (AES-2) infects up to 40% of patients in three eastern Australian CF clinics. To investigate whether AES-2 isolates from chronically infected CF adults differentially express well-conserved genes potentially associated with transmissibility, we compared the transcriptomes of planktonic...
