Brief description Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disorder in humans, affecting 1:2000 people. Mortality is often caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infections which have recently been shown to occur not only environmentally but also via person-person contact, usually during CF clinic visits. This project will elucidate the molecular traits responsible for these 'epidemic' P. aeruginosa infections, with the aim of finding novel therapeutics and infection control strategies.
