The role of bacterial secretion systems in the virulence of Gram-negative airway pathogens associated with cystic fibrosis [PDF]
, 2016 Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal inherited disorder in Caucasians. It is caused by mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.

Microfluidics-based liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry multiple reaction monitoring approach for the relative quantification of Burkholderia cenocepacia secreted virulence factors [PDF]
, 2018 Rationale: Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen that is commonly isolated from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Quorum sensing has been suggested to play a role in the activity of type II and type VI secretion systems and the release ...

Temperature-dependent inactivating factor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1976 The adenosine diphosphate ribosyl transferase activity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A(PA toxin) was found to be rapidly destroyed by heating at 45 to 60C but not by heating at 70 to 90C (for at least 30 min). This phenomenon has been previously described for other bacterial toxins (staphylococcal alpha-toxin and Vibrio parahaemolyticus hemolysin)
