Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: P. aeruginosa is one of the top three causes of opportunistic human bacterial infections. The remarkable variability in the clinical outcomes of this infection is thought to be associated with genetic predisposition. However, the genes underlying host susceptibility to P. aeruginosa infection are still largely unknown. RESULTS: As a step towards mapping these genes, we applied a genome wide linkage...
