Functional Amyloids in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Are Essential for the Proteome Modulation That Leads to Pathoadaptation in Pulmonary Niches

ABSTRACT Persistence and survival of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in chronic lung infections is closely linked to the biofilm lifestyle.One biofilm component, functional amyloid of P.aeruginosa (Fap), imparts structural adaptations for biofilms; however, the role of Fap in read more pathogenesis is still unclear.Conservation of the fap operon encoding Fa
