10 Pa Lung Adaptation
Jupyter notebook from the CF Protective Microbiome Formulation Design project.
NB10: P. aeruginosa Lung Adaptation & Formulation Robustness¶
Project: CF Protective Microbiome Formulation Design Goal: Characterize PA lung-specific metabolic adaptations and assess whether our formulation's competitive exclusion targets are robust across PA variants.
Questions¶
- Among 6,760 PA genomes in the pangenome, what is special about lung/airway isolates?
- Are PA's amino acid catabolic pathways (our formulation targets) invariant across lung PA?
- Do CF-specific PA isolates differ from other lung PA?
- Are there discrete metabolic subpopulations, or is variation continuous?
- Which PA pathways are more active in sicker patients (acute exacerbation) vs stable?
- Among 655 PROTECT PA isolates (15 strain groups): what is the metabolic diversity?
