Bacterial Virulence Genes Detected by Metagenomic Sequencing in the Cystic Fibrosis Airway Microbiome

2026-05-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that leads to chronic infection and mucus retention in the lungs, with lung function gradually deteriorating through recurrent pulmonary exacerbations (PEx). Virulence factors (VFs) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are thought to contribute to pulmonary exacerbations. Our study objective was to identify VF gen...
