Defining routes of airborne transmission of<i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>in people with cystic fibrosis

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common and important pathogen in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). With the advent of modern genotyping, a number of clonal strains of P. aeruginosa have been identified, some of which are associated with increased morbidity. The route of cross-infection between people with CF is not clear, but there is evidence that an airborne route may be important. Laboratory studies have shown...
