Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a widespread Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen in environmental and hospital settings, frequently causing respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), and ventilator-associated pneumonia. In our previous study, a galU-deleted clinical P. aeruginosa was found to exhibit increased susceptibility to polymyxins. The galU gene plays an...
