  "summary": "Research on Pseudomonas aeruginosa adaptation in cystic fibrosis (CF) has historically relied on comparing chronic isolates to laboratory reference strains, or evolving reference strains in environments simulating chronic CF. This work has established a small set of genes, including lasR, mucA, and mexZ, as canonical markers of CF patho-adaptation. However, without broad non-CF comparators, it…",
