Genome-scale model of Rothia mucilaginosa predicts gene essentialities and reveals metabolic capabilities.

Abstract excerpt

Cystic fibrosis (CF), an inherited genetic disorder caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene, results in sticky and thick mucosal fluids. This environment facilitates the colonization of various microorganisms, some of which can cause acute and chronic lung infections, while others may positively impact the disease.
