Impact of Achromobacter xylosoxidans isolation on the respiratory function of adult patients with cystic fibrosis

ERJ Open Research, 2019
Background The prevalence of Achromobacter xylosoxidans lung isolation in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients has increased, but the impact on lung function is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effects of A.
