Description
This session will summarize fundamental advances in understanding how dominant species of bacteria infecting CF airways evolve, compete with each other & affect host tissues.
Educational Objectives:
- Demonstrate how dominant CF pathogens interact with each other & with the host & how it contributes to pathogenesis.
- Describe how Pseudomonas aeruginosa persist & evolve in the airways of CF patients.
- Illustrate bacterial interaction mechanisms & CF microbial diversity in CF airways.
