Pseudomonas aeruginosa Promotes Persistence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia via Increased Adherence to Depolarized Respiratory Epithelium

Abstract excerpt

Despite advances in treatment options for people with CF, complications of bacterial infections remain the greatest driver of morbidity and mortality in this patient population. These infections often involve more than one bacterial pathogen, and our understanding of how interspecies interactions impact disease progression is lacking. Previous work in our lab found that two CF pathogens, Stenotrophomonas...
