Tracking Polymicrobial Metabolism in Cystic Fibrosis Airways: <named-content content-type="genus-species">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</named-content> Metabolism and Physiology Are Influenced by <named-content content-type="genus-species">Rothia mucilaginosa</named-content>-Derived Metabolites

ABSTRACT Due to a lack of effective immune clearance, the airways of cystic fibrosis patients are colonized by polymicrobial communities. One of the most widespread and destructive opportunistic pathogens is Pseudomonas aeruginosa; however, P. aeruginosa does not colonize the airways alone. Microbes...
