Multidrug-Resistant Infection Spreading Globally Among CF Patients
Multidrug-Resistant Infection Spreading Globally Among CF Patients
A multidrug-resistant infection that can cause life-threatening illness in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and can be passed from patient to patient has spread globally and is becoming increasingly virulent, according to new research published in Science.The study, led by investigators at the University of Cambridge and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in the United Kingdom, also suggests that conventional cleaning will not be sufficient to eliminate the pathogen, which can be transmitted through contaminated surfaces or in the air.Mycobacterium abscessus, a species of multidrug-resistant mycobacteria, has recently emerged as a significant global threat to individuals with CF and other lung diseases.
