Genomic Comparative of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Small Colony Variant, Mucoid and Non-mucoid Phenotypes Obtained from a Patient with Cystic Fibrosis During Respiratory Exacerbations.

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the most prevalent opportunistic pathogen in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, associated with high morbidity and mortality in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), is practically impossible to be eradicated from the airways in chronicity. Its extraordinary genomic plasticity is possibly associated with high antimicrobial resistance, virulence factors, and its phenotypic diversity. The...
