Worldwide rates of diagnosis and effective treatment for cystic fibrosis

Jonathan Guo et al.

Summary: This study identifies gaps in access to cystic fibrosis (CF) treatment, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The results reveal a significant burden of undiagnosed or untreated CF patients in many countries where disease-modifying drugs are unavailable.

Acute Infection with a Tobramycin-Induced Small Colony Variant of Staphylococcus aureus Causes Increased Inflammation in the Cystic Fibrosis Rat Lung

Gretchen E. Bollar et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of small colony variants (SCVs) of Staphylococcus aureus on cystic fibrosis (CF) disease progression. The research shows that SCV infections in CF rats lead to increased weight loss and neutrophilic inflammation compared to normal colony variants (NCVs). Additionally, SCV infections result in a lower macrophage response. These findings suggest that SCV infections directly contribute to lung disease progression in people with CF.

Worldwide rates of diagnosis and effective treatment for cystic fibrosis

Jonathan Guo et al.

Summary: This study aims to identify gaps in access to cystic fibrosis (CF) treatment globally. The findings suggest that in some countries, disease-modifying drugs are not available, leading to unmet needs among CF patients. The study highlights the potential to improve diagnosis and treatment rates for CF.

Sustained Coinfections with Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Cystic Fibrosis

Anthony J. Fischer et al.

Summary: Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are both abundant in sputum cultures of cystic fibrosis patients. Contrary to common assumption, there is no rapid replacement of S. aureus by P. aeruginosa. Many CF patients have long-term coinfection with these organisms.

Polyclonality, Shared Strains, and Convergent Evolution in Chronic Cystic Fibrosis Staphylococcus aureus Airway Infection

Dustin R. Long et al.

Summary: This study characterized the molecular epidemiology and genetic adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus in chronic CF airway infection, revealing that patients often carry multiple, genetically distinct S. aureus lineages with adaptations in persistence and antimicrobial resistance genes. Limited strain-sharing was identified among patients, and S. aureus genetic diversity was found to be unconstrained, suggesting the need for novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in the future.

MRSA strains with distinct accessory genes predominate at different ages in cystic fibrosis

Harry S. Porterfield et al.

Summary: This study identified different MRSA subtypes predominant in different age groups among CF patients, which differ by accessory gene content. The MRSA cluster including ST5 and ST105 was associated with lower FEV1, while ST8 MRSA was more common in younger patients and has the potential to rise in prevalence in the future.
