Cystic Fibrosis and Lung Infections
For people with cystic fibrosis, lung infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be relentless.
These bacteria form tough biofilms in the lungs, making them extremely resistant to antibiotics.
Frequent, prolonged treatments become necessary, yet infections often return.
This cycle leads to worsening lung function and increased hospitalizations, making management of cystic fibrosis far more complex.
