Abstract excerpt
Auxotrophic Pseudomonas aeruginosa are exclusive to respiratory infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) and bronchiectatic patients, and isolates require specific amino acids for growth on minimal media, particularly methionine. Since auxotrophic and prototrophic P. aeruginosa from CF are identical by genotyping, we investigated the genetic events leading to methionine auxotrophy (Met-). Most (10/13) Met- strains had...
