Epidemiology of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in the airways of lung transplant recipients with cystic fibrosis

Abstract

These results show that there is no change in the P aeruginosa population in the airways of lung transplant recipients before and after transplantation and it is assumed that the chronic drainage of P aeruginosa into the lung allografts is caused by the bacterial reservoir in the paranasal sinuses and the trachea.
