Persistence and genetic adaptation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
3 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: It is unclear whether recurrent sputum culture with Pseudomonas aeruginosa from patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is caused by intermittent airway carriage by different P. aeruginosa lineages or persistent carriage by the same lineage, and whether lineages genetically adapt during carriage. METHODS: Whole-genome sequencing was performed for P. aeruginosa isolates sampled...
