While many different strategies may be applied, rigorous microbiological surveillance, intensive eradication therapy, and long-term maintenance therapy based on inhaled antibiotics may be considered the main strategy for infection control in individuals with CF.

    Abstract Lung infection is the leading cause of death in cystic fibrosis (CF), and antimicrobial therapies are the backbone of infection management. While many different strategies may be applied, rigorous microbiological surveillance, intensive eradication therapy, and long-term maintenance therapy based on inhaled antibiotics may be considered the main strategy for infection control in individuals with CF. While most of the existing evidence is based on infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, other important pathogens causing lung inflammation and deterioration exist and should be treated despite the evidence gap. In this chapter, we describe the approaches to the antimicrobial treatment of the most important pathogens in CF and the evidence behind.

    Abstract Background: Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators have been shown to have a beneficial effect on pulmonary function and nutritional status in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), but the extent to which they affect glucose tolerance is not fully understood. In the current study, we evaluated the change in glucose tolerance and insulin secretion after first-generation CFTR modulator treatment in adults with CF.
    Methods: We performed a longitudinal observational study with an oral glucose tolerance test performed at baseline and after three and a half years of follow-up. The test comprised glucose, C-peptide and insulin measured at fasting, 1 h, and 2 h, and HbA1c at fasting. We compared changes in parameters of glucose tolerance and insulin secretion from baseline to follow-up.
    Results: Among 55 participants, 37 (67%) were treated with a first-generation CFTR modulator for a median of 21 months. Glucose levels were unchanged in both the treated and untreated group. In the treated group, C-peptide levels declined, yet no significant differences in glucose, insulin, and C-peptide levels were observed between the groups. HbA1c increased in both groups, while no significant change in the insulin sensitivity indices was detected in either group. However, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance tended to decline in the treated group, whilst tending towards an increase in the untreated group. The difference between the groups reached statistical significance (p = 0.040).
    Conclusion: Treatment with first-generation CFTR modulators, mainly tezacaftor/ivacaftor, did not seem to be associated with glucose tolerance nor insulin secretion in adults with CF. However, CFTR modulators may still have a beneficial effect on insulin sensitivity.

    Abstract Ceftolozane-tazobactam is a new β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2019 for the treatment of hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia. The combination is a particularly potent inhibitor of penicillin-binding proteins with higher affinity than other β-lactam agents. Persons with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) often harbour resistant Gram-negative bacteria in the airways and need antibiotics to prevent declining lung function. To test whether the introduction of ceftolozane-tazobactam in the period 2015-2020 led to a bacterial population level increase in cephalosporin resistance in a Danish CF population. In vitro, activity of ceftolozane-tazobactam was evaluated by susceptibility testing of clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from pwCF from January 1, 2015, to June 1, 2020. Six thousand three hundred thirty two isolates collected from 210 adult pwCF were included. Thirty pwCF were treated with ceftolozane-tazobactam at least once. Ceftolozane-tazobactam exposure did not increase cephalosporin resistance on an individual or population level. However, resistance to ceftolozane-tazobactam was recorded despite no prior exposure in four pwCF. Compared to ceftazidime, ceftolozane-tazobactam had a better in vitro activity on P. aeruginosa. The percentage of non-mucoid P. aeruginosa isolates susceptible to ceftolozane-tazobactam were higher or equal to 5 other β-lactams. Ceftolozane-tazobactam expands the armamentaria against P. aeruginosa with acceptable levels for a selection of drug resistance.

    Abstract Inflammation is a major component of the vicious cycle characterizing cystic fibrosis (CF) pulmonary disease. If untreated, this inflammatory process irreversibly damages the airways, leading to bronchiectasis and ultimately respiratory failure. Anti-inflammatory drugs for CF lung disease appear to have beneficial effects on disease progression. These agents include oral corticosteroids and ibuprofen, as well as azithromycin, which, in addition to its antimicrobial effects, also possess anti-inflammatory properties. Inhaled corticosteroids, antioxidants, nutritional supplements, and protease inhibitors have a limited impact on the disease. Adverse effects limit therapy with oral corticosteroids and ibuprofen. Azithromycin appears to be safe and effective, and is thus the most promising anti-inflammatory therapy available for patients with CF. Pharmacologic therapy with anti-inflammatory agents should be started early in the disease course, before extensive irreversible lung damage has occurred. To optimize anti-inflammatory therapy, it is necessary to understand the mechanism of action of these agents in the CF lung, to determine which of these agents would provide the most benefit to patients with CF, and to determine which therapies should be initiated at what age or stage of lung disease.

    Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a severe, monogenic, autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator) gene, where disturbed chloride and bicarbonate transportation in epithelial cells results in a multiorgan disease with primarily pulmonary infections and pancreatic insufficiency. In 1968, the Copenhagen CF Center was established, and centralized care of CF patients with monthly control was introduced. Close monitoring and treatment of Pseudomonas lung infection as well as segregation of patients with different infection status improved the clinical outcome as well as survival. Prophylactic basic treatment as well as infection treatments follow specific algorithms. A variety of comorbidities have all along the pulmonary infection control necessitated personalized care, adjusted to the patients' phenotype. With the introduction of CFTR modulators, the treatment has shifted from prophylactic, symptomatic type toward a new era of precision medicine targeting the basic defect according to the patients' CFTR genotype. Future directions will focus on further improvement of the CFTR modulators and gene therapy, as well as modifier genes and CF phenotype.
