2021, Journal of Cystic FibrosisCitation Excerpt :Pulmonary epithelial changes in CF are suggested for decades [4], but systematic phenotypic studies in lung tissues or in vitro models using primary culture lack. We first confirm, in a large cohort of patients, a goblet cell hyperplasia witnessed by an increased MUC5AC expression in CF epithelium [4–6]. This was also demonstrated by Burgel et al. on lung explants [10].

2018, International Journal of Medical MicrobiologyCitation Excerpt :Lung disease in CF is characterized by the progressive colonization of the respiratory tract by different pathogenic bacteria, which persist due to an impaired ciliary function and increased mucus viscosity, and can cause polymicrobial biofilm-mediated infections in the lower airways (Bhagirath et al., 2016; Burmolle et al., 2010; Burmolle et al., 2014; Peters et al., 2012; Robinson and Bye 2002). These infections seem to be the main stimulus for an exacerbated inflammatory response that causes permanent damage to the lung architecture and function (Bedrossian et al., 1976; Burmolle et al., 2010). The most frequent isolates from respiratory samples of CF patients include Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus influenzae, with P. aeruginosa causing the most predominant lung infection (Bhagirath et al., 2016).
