Diversity of metabolic profiles of cystic fibrosis Pseudomonas aeruginosa during the early stages of lung infection
15 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the dominant pathogen infecting the airways of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. During the intermittent colonization phase, P. aeruginosa resembles environmental strains but later evolves to the chronic adapted phenotype characterized by resistance to antibiotics and mutations in the global regulator genes mucA, lasR and rpoN. Our aim was to understand the metabolic changes occurring over...
