Pseudomonas aeruginosa lasR transcription correlates with the transcription of lasA, lasB, and toxA in chronic lung infections associated with cystic fibrosis.
The role of Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum-sensing systems in the lung infections associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) has not been examined. The purpose of this study was to determine if genes regulated by the LasR-LasI quorum-sensing system were coordinately regulated by the P. aeruginosa populations during the lung infections associated with CF. We also wanted to ascertain if there was a rela...
متن کاملTransmissible strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis lung infections.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa chronic lung infections are the major cause of morbidity and mortality associated with cystic fibrosis. For many years, the consensus was that cystic fibrosis patients acquire P. aeruginosa from the environment, and hence harbour their own individual clones. However, in the past 15 yrs the emergence of transmissible strains, in some cases associated with greater morbidity...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa in patients without cystic fibrosis is strongly associated with chronic obstructive lung disease.
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to investigate the occurrence and consequences of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in a group of non-cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with regard to clinical presentation, treatment and change in lung function. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a three-year retrospective study of 113 patients with P. aeruginosa-positive airway samples achieved from the De...
متن کاملComparative Genomics of Isolates of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa Epidemic Strain Associated with Chronic Lung Infections of Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the main cause of fatal chronic lung infections among individuals suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF). During the past 15 years, particularly aggressive strains transmitted among CF patients have been identified, initially in Europe and more recently in Canada. The aim of this study was to generate high-quality genome sequences for 7 isolates of the Liverpool epidemic ...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa Evolutionary Adaptation and Diversification in Cystic Fibrosis Chronic Lung Infections
Pseudomonas aeruginosa populations undergo a characteristic evolutionary adaptation during chronic infection of the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung, including reduced production of virulence factors, transition to a biofilm-associated lifestyle, and evolution of high-level antibiotic resistance. Populations of P. aeruginosa in chronic CF lung infections typically exhibit high phenotypic diversity, in...
