Study of COPD patients has created a 'looking glass' into genome of pathogen

(University at Buffalo) Decades of work on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at the University at Buffalo and the Veterans Administration WNY Healthcare System have yielded extraordinary information about the pathogen that does the most harm to patients. The results, published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provide the first insights into how this pathogen lives and adapts to its host in real time over months and even years.
