| Summary: | Chronic lung infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa reduces respiratory function and life expectancy in people with cystic fibrosis. Up to 2/3 of hospitalized patients, have antibiotic-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which presents significant difficulties in prescribing eradication antibiotic therapy, which in some cases is aggravated by undesirable side effects of antimicrobial chemotherapy. The nutritional status of patients with cystic fibrosis is directly related to the activity of chronic pulmonary infection and the frequency of pulmonary exacerbations. A clinical example discusses the tactics of prescribing an alternative inhaled antibiotic aztreonam lysine (Cayston (Aztreonam lysine), Gilead Sciences Inc.) active against carbapenemases, including metallobetalactamases, in a patient with multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The clinical case demonstrates the successful eradication of the multidrug-resistant biotypes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and, as a consequence, the improvement of respiratory function and nutritional status, including the normalization of the 25(OH)D level in the patient. |
