    Assessing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Virulence and the Host Response Using Murine Models of Acute and Chronic Lung Infection

    Murine models of acute and chronic lung infection have been used in studying Pseudomonas aeruginosa for assessing in vivo behavior and for monitoring of the host response. These models provide an important resour...
