Transcriptional adaptations during long-term persistence of Staphylococcus aureus in the airways of a cystic fibrosis patient
30 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
The lungs of Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are often colonized and/or infected by Staphylococcus aureus for years, mostly by one predominant clone. For long-term survival in this environment, S. aureus needs to adapt during its interactions with host factors, antibiotics, and other pathogens. Here, we study long-term transcriptional as well as genomic adaptations of an isogenic pair of S. aureus isolates from a...
