Bacteria and Inflammation in Cystic Fibrosis

respiratory research centre in Canada: The Meakins-Christie Laboraotories

Dr. Dao Nguyen’s research team discovered that there are variants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (LasR), a bacteria commonly found in Cystic Fibrosis patients, that can cause a lot of inflammation. The study was published in Science Advances 2015. In some cases, that inflammation leads to the need for lung transplants. Nguyen’s team is the first to make the connection between the bacteria and inflammation. (August 2015)
