Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an adaptable, saprophytic bacterium with the potential to cause a variety of opportunistic infections in compromised hosts. In patients with cystic fibrosis, chronic pulmonary colonization with mucoid alginate-producing mutants of P. aeruginosa is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and is an interesting example of microbial adaptation and host-bacterium interaction.
铜绿假单胞菌是一种适应性强的腐生菌，有潜力在免疫功能低下的宿主中引发多种机会性感染。在囊性纤维化患者中，铜绿假单胞菌产黏液藻酸盐突变体的慢性肺部定植是发病和死亡的主要原因，也是微生物适应性和宿主-细菌相互作用的一个有趣例子。
