  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>In cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, chronic airway infection by <jats:italic>Pseudomonas</jats:italic> leads to progressive lung destruction ultimately requiring lung transplantation (LT). Following LT, CF-adapted <jats:italic>Pseudomonas</jats:italic> strains, potentially originating from the sinuses, may seed the allograft leading to infections and reduced allograft survival. We investigated whether CF-adapted <jats:italic>Pseudomonas</jats:italic> populations invade the donor microbiota and adapt to the non-CF allograft. We collected sequential <jats:italic>Pseudomonas</jats:italic> isolates and airway samples from a CF-lung transplant recipient during two years, and followed the dynamics of the microbiota and <jats:italic>Pseudomonas</jats:italic> populations. We show that <jats:italic>Pseudomonas</jats:italic> invaded the host microbiota within three days post-LT, in association with a reduction in richness and diversity. A dominant mucoid and hypermutator <jats:italic>mutL</jats:italic> lineage was replaced after 11 days by non-mucoid strains. Despite antibiotic therapy, <jats:italic>Pseudomonas</jats:italic> dominated the allograft microbiota until day 95. We observed positive selection of pre-LT variants and the appearance of novel mutations. Phenotypic adaptation resulted in increased biofilm formation and swimming motility capacities. <jats:italic>Pseudomonas</jats:italic> was replaced after 95 days by a microbiota dominated by <jats:italic>Actinobacillus</jats:italic>. In conclusion, mucoid <jats:italic>Pseudomonas</jats:italic> adapted to the CF-lung remained able to invade the allograft. Selection of both pre-existing non-mucoid subpopulations and of novel phenotypic traits suggests rapid adaptation of <jats:italic>Pseudomonas</jats:italic> to the non-CF allograft.</jats:p>
