Polyagglutinable Pseudomonas aeruginosa from cystic fibrosis patients. A survey.

Abstract excerpt

Chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection is responsible for most of the mortallity and morbility observed in cystic fibrosis patients. During the course of the disease, the bacteria change from being O-serogroup typable (monoagglutinable), non-mucoid, resistant to normal human serum and moti...
