Molecular-genetic characterisation of arginine auxotrophy in the opportunistic human pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa
2020-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is a predominant pathogen in the airways of people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Pa undergoes several evolutionary adaptations that allow it to thrive in the CF airway environment, including the emergence of amino acid auxotrophs. Arginine auxotrophs arise at high frequency in CF, and arginine is known to play an essential physiological role in Pa, so I chose to investigate the possible mo...
