Pseudomonas aeruginosa promotes persistence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia via increased adherence to depolarized respiratory epithelium

In this study, we used host and bacterial RNA sequencing to evaluate the impact of dual species infections with S. maltophilia and P. aeruginosa on CF disease progression. To evaluate S. maltophilia transcript profiles we used a recently described method for selective capture of bacterial mRNA transcripts with strain specific RNA probes. Overall design: RNA-sequencing of tanscriptome from mouse lung infected with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Pseudomonas aerugionsa, or both.
