Draft genomes of 12 host‐adapted and environmental isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and their positions in the core genome phylogeny
Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram‐negative opportunistic pathogen particularly associated with the inherited disease cystic fibrosis (CF). Pseudomonas aeruginosa is well known to have a large and adaptable genome that enables it to colonise a wide range of ecological niches. Here, we have used a comparative genomics approach to identify changes that occur during infection of the CF lung. We used the mucoid phenotype as an obvious marker of host adaptation and compared these genomes to analyse SNPs, indels and islands within near‐isogenic pairs. To commence the correction of the natural bias towards clinical iso...

Biofilm models for the food industry: hot‐spots for plasmid transfer?
This study investigated biomass and plasmid transfer in dual‐species (Pseudomonas putida and Escherichia coli) biofilm models relevant for the food industry. Two different configurations (flow through and drip flow) and two different inoculation procedures (donor‐recipient and recipient‐donor) were tested. The drip flow configuration integrated stainless steel coupons in the setup while the flow through configuration included a glass flow cell and silicon tubing. The highest biomass density (10 log (cells cm‐²)) was obtained in the silicone tubing when first the recipient strain was inoculated. High plasmid transf...
