Chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF). It is not known whether recent advances in care have affected the rates of chronic infection. We aimed to determine if the rates of developing new chronic P. aeruginosa infection among adolescents and adults with CF significantly changed over time.
