| Abstract | Application of metagenomics [1-5] and high-resolution culture independent molecular probing techniques [6-10] have revealed that the microbiota of the airways of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is highly complex and consists of 100s of microorganisms belonging to a wide variety of taxonomic groups. The pulmonary function of CF patients is significantly affected by the interaction of these microorganisms in the respiratory tract and by the proinflammatory host immune response generated against the airway microbial community. Furthermore, application of conventional culture dependent methods have identified a core group of bacterial pathogens consisting of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Burkholderia cepacia complex, Alcaligenes xylosoxidans and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia [11-13] colonizing/infecting the airways of CF patients in an age Research Article Abstract |
