Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common bacterial pathogen in the evolution of bronchiectasis in cystic fibrosis. The appearance of resistant strains of pseudomonas is increasing with the earlier and more liberal use of a range of anti-pseudomonal antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial chest infections. The rationale for treatment and potential benefits of aggressive treatment of resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from early in life are discussed.
