Host Adaptation Predisposes <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> to Type VI Secretion System-Mediated Predation by the <i>Burkholderia cepacia</i> Complex
2020-04-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( Pa ) and Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) species are opportunistic lung pathogens of individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). While Pa can initiate long-term infections in younger CF patients, Bcc infections only arise in teenagers and adults. Both Pa and Bcc use type VI secretion systems (T6SS) to mediate interbacterial competition. Here, we show that Pa isolates f...
