By Wagging its ‘Tail,’ Bacteria Common in CF Lung Infections May Initiate Immune Reaction
Researchers have found that a “swimming” movement by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the bacteria most commonly associated with lung infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, triggers an immune response against the pathogen, according to a new study. Its findings may help in targeting therapies to resolve lung infection in CF. The study, “Swimming Motility Mediates…
