Studies with different inbred mouse strains support the contribution of the host genetic background to predispose the animals to chronic infection and different degrees of disease severity due to a different immunoreactivity to pathogens (Table 1 ). Recently, we exploited the agar-beads mouse model of long-term chronic lung infection, refined and characterized in C57Bl/6NCrl , in five phylogenetically different inbred strains of mice to identify deviant disease phenotypes and to dissect the cell-mediated immunity . Early immune response in susceptible and resistant mice strains with chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection determines the type of T-helper cell response The host genetic background defines diverse immune-reactivity and susceptibility to chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa respiratory infection ./cache/cord-341272-mw6ujjrk.txt ./txt/cord-341272-mw6ujjrk.txt
