Omics-based tracking ofPseudomonas aeruginosapersistence in “eradicated” cystic fibrosis patients

Abstract excerpt

WheneverPseudomonas aeruginosais cultured from cystic fibrosis (CF) patient airways, the primary goal is eradication by antibiotic therapy. Success is defined by ≥6 months of negative bacterial airway cultures. However, we suspect thatP. aeruginosapersists in airways without clinical detection for long periods. Out of 298P. aeruginosa-infected Copenhagen CF patients, we identified 80 with completeP....
