Pseudomonas aeruginosa displays substantial genetic diversification across sub-compartments in cystic fibrosis (CF) lungs. Here, Kordes et al. show that, despite genetic variation, the ex vivo transcriptional profiles of P. aeruginosa populations are similar across five different areas in an explanted CF lung.
