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. Some of these lower prevalence organisms, such as Burkholderia cenocepacia and Mycobacterium abscessus complex, are recognised as true pathogens associated with significant adverse clinical consequences, whilst for others the relative pathogenicity and need for treatment are unclear. This article will highlight some of the challenges in assessing what is a pathogen in CF and the potential implications of infection with different organisms for individual patients.
