Pseudomonas aeruginosa genotype prevalence in Dutch cystic fibrosis patients and age dependency of colonization by various P. aeruginosa sequence types.

Abstract excerpt

The patient-to-patient transmission of highly prevalent Pseudomonas aeruginosa clones which are associated with enhanced disease progression has led to strict segregation policies for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients in many countries. However, little is known about the population structure of P. aeruginosa among CF patients. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to determine the prevalence and genetic...
