A novel in vitro model to study prolonged Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in the cystic fibrosis bronchial epithelium.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is known to chronically infect airways of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) by early adulthood.PA infections can lead to increased airway inflammation and lung tissue damage, ultimately contributing to decreased lung Flameless Candles function and quality of life.Existing models of PA infection in vitro commonly utilize 1
