Abstract excerpt
Conversion of the mucoid phenotype, which results from the production of the exopolysaccharide alginate, is a feature typical of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains causing chronic pulmonary infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. In this study, we further characterized a recombinant plasmid, cal...
