Ability of device to collect bacteria from cough aerosols generated by adults with cystic fibrosis

2016-08-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> : Identifying lung pathogens and acute spikes in lung counts remain a challenge in the treatment of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Bacteria from the deep lung may be sampled from aerosols produced during coughing. <h4>Methods: </h4> : A new device was used to collect and measure bacteria levels from cough aerosols of patients with CF. Sputum and oral specimens were also collected and me...
