Evidence and role for bacterial mucin degradation in cystic fibrosis airway disease

2016-04-08

Abstract excerpt

Chronic respiratory infections are composed of complex microbial communities that incite persistent inflammation and airway damage. Despite the high density of bacteria that colonize the airways, nutrient sources that sustain bacterial growth in vivo are unknown. Here we examine the role of respiratory mucins in the ecological dynamics of the cystic fibrosis lung microbiota. While P. aeruginosa was unable to eff...
