Highly Effective Modulator Therapy: Implications for the Microbial Landscape in Cystic Fibrosis.

Abstract excerpt

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive multisystem disorder caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis conductance regulator (CFTR) anion channel. In the lungs specifically, CFTR mutations lead to changes in mucus viscosity and defective mucociliary clearance. Moreover, people with CF (pwCF) mount an insufficient immune response to invading pathogens, which predisposes individuals to chronic airway...
