Featured article: High-virulence of P. aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis patients

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common pathogen in the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and is associated with increased morbidity, reduction in quality of life and mortality. This study quantifies the within-patient variation in the production of three virulence-associated secretions in the CF strain of P. aeruginosa. While investigating the effects of these variations in acute infections of an insect host model, the study concludes that they can result in high virulence sub-populations persisting in patients with chronic CF infections.
