Abstract excerpt
Characterization of the epidemiology of Pseudomonas cepacia colonization in cystic fibrosis is difficult because of the phenotypic variability of isolates. A single sputum culture may yield colonies which differ in morphology, antibiotic susceptibility, and pigment production. We examined serial P. cepacia isolates from a cystic fibrosis patient which the clinical laboratory identified as separate strains; these...
