I read this a few weeks ago. It is interesting, but it's important to remember that this study has raised a lot of questions and not offered any answers. It makes sense with regard to very resistant strains of bacteria. You kill off the competition and give it more real estate. The problem...

Pseudomonas is one of the most commonly cultured bacterias in the CF population, mostly because it's friggen everywhere (you dose yourself with it every time you shower). CF mucus is different that normal because the mutant CFTR affects ion transport, and therefore osmosis, across the...

I'm not sure what your paper needs to be on, but might I suggest doing it on hypertonic saline? I had a very interesting conversation with an RT once about whether the increase in PFT's found in surfers (which initially lead to the study of HTS in CF) was from the exercise of surfing or the...

I just came back from my latest clinic visit. I no longer culture PA, this was confirmed by BAL on the 14th of April. How I got rid of it, I don't know. I do culture aspergillus and we are going to begin treating with voriconazole.
