“…P. aeruginosa is the microorganism that most frequently colonizes patients with CF, 25 however, studies on P. aeruginosa transmission among patients with CF have shown conflicting results. 26 , 27 In our study, an 80% (8/10) colonization rate confirms the high rate of exposure to this microorganism.…”

“…Similar to what has been reported for Pseudomonas aeruginosa [61] and Burkholderia cepacia complex [62], for Ac species, transmission of these pathogens between CF patients has also been demonstrated [63]. This means that to avoid Ac species infection, close contact between chronically infected patients and noninfected patients should be avoided.…”

“…The P. aeruginosa strains evaluated in the present study showed higher rates of susceptibility than P. aeruginosa strains from CF patients evaluated in other studies (6,27). We also observed that mucoid isolates showed a tendency for higher rates of resistance (P Ͻ 0.001) than nonmucoid isolates to several antimicrobial agents, including cefperazone, cefepime, aztreonam, sparfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin (23).Despite the great number of studies on the epidemiology of P. aeruginosa infection in CF (1,4,5,12,14,15,16,22,26,30), no data have been published on the colonization or infection of Brazilian CF patients with P. aeruginosa. We evaluated 97 isolates of P. aeruginosa from 43 CF patients, and we found 39 distinct PFGE patterns among isolates from 41 patients that were not epidemiologically related.…”
