Commercial porcine gastric mucin contributes to variation in production of small molecule virulence factors by Pseudomonas aeruginosa when cultured in different formulations of artificial sputum medium
R. L. Neve, B. D. Carrillo, V. V. Phelan
The paper shows that different artificial sputum media formulations affect Pseudomonas aeruginosa's production of small molecule virulence factors, and commercial porcine gastric mucin contains contaminants that influence bacterial physiology.
