Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the major gram-negative bacterium associated with lung infections in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients, which contributes to the increased morbidity and mortality of such disease. P. aeruginosa has the ability to cause progressive damage to patients, mainly because of three factors: hypermutator phenotype; expression of virulence factors; and a remarkable and intrins…
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a severe and life-shortening autosomal recessive genetic disease. Mutations in the gene CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane condutance Regulator) are responsible for transmission of the disease. This gene encodes a protein that, among various functions, regulates the movement of water and ions, such as chlorine (Cl-) and sodium (Na+), by the epithelium of multiple …
During chronic lung infection of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), Pseudomonas aeruginosa can survive for long periods of time under selective pressure imposed by antibiotic treatment and the patient's immune system as a result of its biofilm mode of growth and adaptive evolution mediated by genetic variation. Mucoidy, hypermutability and acquirement of mutational antibiotic resistance …
