The University of Texas brings us this good news:

Great News! I seem to recall a topic post on P.a. where biofilms were discussed. With mucoid and non mucoid forms of P.a. grown in algenic acid or Agar agar plates and tubes. Algenic acid is the biofilm made when P.a. turns mucoid. This is wonderful.

With Kalydeco and many other genetic modifiers in the final trials, CF may soon be arrested for most CFers. If science doesn't address the intractable infections we eventually culture. All the CF medicine will be a waste for those who are succumbing to these MDR infections.

A timely development!
