Abstract
Our results indicate that the presence of a genotypically identical subsequent P. aeruginosa isolate and/or a short P. aeruginosa-free time interval after treatment are ominous signs and might be useful additional tools to predict impending chronic colonization. Current routine bacteriological methods for the detection of P. aeruginosa may lack the sensitivity to discriminate between true eradication and low bacterial persistence.
