Molecular analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from cystic fibrosis patients

Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a severe bacterial pathogen. Due to the genetic flexibility among strains, chronic airways infection can lead to mortality among cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. It is essential to develop patient-specific therapy which will rely on phenotypic and genomic diversity....
