2023-08-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> While commensal bacteria generally respect natural barriers of the human body, pathogens are able to breach epithelia, invade deeper tissue layers and cause life-threatening infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa , an opportunistic human pathogen, is a leading cause of severe hospital-acquired pneumonia, with mortality rates as high as 50% in mechanically ventilated patients 1–3 . Effective coloniz...
