Epidemic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) have been shown to have an important role in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. A novel strain, the Prairie Epidemic Strain (PES), has been identified in up to 30% of patients in Prairie-based Canadian CF centres ( (PMID 24452167, 27682327). The isolate PES_P749 is the oldest representative (isolated in 1980) of the Prairie Epidemic Strain lineage obtained from the Calgary Adult Cystic Fibrosis Clinic (CACFC) Biobank.
