The Yin and Yang of Streptococcus Lung Infections in Cystic Fibrosis: a Model for Studying Polymicrobial Interactions

Abstract excerpt

infections. Collectively, these studies indicate the necessity for further investigation into the role of streptococci in the CF airway to determine how these microbes, alone or via interactions with other CF-associated pathogens, might influence CF lung disease, for better or for worse. We also propose that the interactions of streptococci with other CF pathogens is an ideal model to study clinically relevant...
