IMI

LL08--Treatment of Multi-Drug Resistant Pulmonary Infections

Saturday, November 4, 2023
11:45 AM - 1:15 PM MST
Location: 131 AB (North)
Recorded Session
During this session, participants will discuss several of the most important questions relating to the management of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens causing infections in persons living with cystic fibrosis. In particular, we will focus on the most common, and most notorious MDR pathogens including: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cepacia complex, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Mycobacteroides abscessus complex. We will discuss current treatment options and strategies to optimize pharmacokinetics, as well as review what may be possible in the near future based on advances being made in the field.

Learning Objectives:

  • Differentiate between antibiotic resistance and phenotypes contributing to organism persistence.
  • Understand definitions of multi-drug resistance and pan-drug resistance as have been developed in the CF literature and their limitations.
  • Identify knowledge gaps and areas for future research.
