Genetic studies of epidemic strains of cystic fibrosis pathogens

2003-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal disorder characterised by abnormal chloride secretion, and resulting in the production of thick and viscous mucous in the lungs and other organs. CF sufferers are prone to respiratory infection by a small subset of bacterial pathogens. Infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) can have a significant impact on morbidity and mortality within...
