This study identifies differential metabolite production by pathogens as a mechanism disrupting the CF airway microbiota, showing that pathogens inhibit oropharyngeal bacteria and reduce microbiota diversity.

This paper identifies EfhP as a Ca2+-binding sensor that regulates iron uptake and virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa through transcriptional responses to elevated Ca2+ levels.
