Which pathogens should we worry about?
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews 2019 March 2
Aside from the traditional CF pathogens, Haemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, there are an increasing number of organisms found to have chronic carriage in patients with cystic fibrosis, including gram-negative bacteria, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, anaerobic bacteria and fungal species.
