  "summary": "P. aeruginosa is a Gram-negative, ubiquitous, opportunistic pathogen that can colonize open wounds and the respiratory airways and is particularly problematic for patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF) where it can cause chronic infections. One factor contributing to P. aeruginosa diversity during infection is phenotypic heterogeneity. Phenotypic heterogeneity is the ability of bacteria to…",
