Most common: P. aeruginosa
Most dangerous: B. cepacia
The leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients who have CF is progressive pulmonary deterioration with chronic necrotizing bronchopneumonia. These pulmonary infections mainly involve P. aeruginosa.
The most common organism in the lungs and sinuses of people with CF is P. aeruginosa. Other typical CF organisms include Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, and Burkholderia cepacia. Less commonly, the late stages of lung disease may be accompanied by the presence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Alcaligenes xiloxidants, and nontuberculoses mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) or Mycobacterium abscessus. B. cepacia has been associated with a higher mortality both before and after lung transplantation (8). As a result of adverse outcomes after transplantation, many centers have reevaluated their criteria and have chosen not to offer transplantation to those patients with CF who are known to harbor B. cepacia in the presence of resistance to multiple antibiotics
