Efficacy of Pseudomonas aeruginosa eradication regimens in bronchiectasis

[摘要] ExtractPatients with bronchiectasis and chronic infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa have more frequent pulmonary exacerbations and hospital admissions; and reduced quality of life and survival; than those who are free of P. aeruginosa infection [1]. Guidelines published by the British Thoracic Society recommend treatment to eradicate P. aeruginosa when first isolated in respiratory tract samples of people with bronchiectasis [2]. However; the best regimen to achieve eradication and how to determine successful eradication are yet unknown.
