Abstract excerpt
Achromobacter spp. are increasingly identified in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients and their ability to persistently colonize the CF respiratory tract (CFRT) suggests that Achromobacter species possess adaptive characteristics. We studied genome dynamics in 118 isolates recovered from 13 patients with Achromobacter chronic colonization (5-26 isolates per patient recovered over 13-61 months). Isolates were identified...
