Journal of Cystic Fibrosis , 09/14/09

Thorn ST et al. – Oral antibiotic therapy of cystic fibrosis patients colonized with Nocardia does not appear to affect clinical outcome.

In addition, this study model may be useful in analyzing the effect of therapy on other rare and difficult organisms, such as fungi and mycobacteria in the cystic fibrosis population.
