Conclusions: Patients who harbour the highly transmissible P aeruginosa

strain have a greater treatment burden than patients with CF who harbour

their own unique strains. These findings support the need for

microbiological surveillance for highly transmissible P aeruginosa and

the implementation of infection control measures to prevent cross

infection...
