• W2308791497 abstract "Introduction: Emerging pathogens (EP) in cystic fibrosis (CF) include organisms that have infected individuals with CF for many years e.g. Burkholderia multivorans and Mycobacterium abscessus and more recently identified potential pathogens in CF e.g. Pneumocystis jirovecii and Pandoraea spp. The clinical implications of infection with these organisms are emerging but much remains unknown. Current evidence suggests that infection with some EP is associated with a worse prognosis. This thesis aimed to investigate the epidemiology, prevalence and clinical impact of EP in adults with CF.Methods: (1) The prevalence of P. jirovecii was determined in adults attending Manchester Adult Cystic Fibrosis Centre (MACFC) who were clinically stable versus those experiencing an acute pulmonary exacerbation (PEx). (2) The prevalence of M. abscessus at MACFC was determined, isolates of M. abscessus were strain typed, and cross infection risk was assessed. The clinical impact of Gram-negative EP was assessed by: (3) assessing their prevalence and determining if any patients attending MACFC harboured identical strains and had opportunities for cross infection to occur, and by (4) following these patients longitudinally and comparing outcome with age, gender and FEV1 matched Pseudomonas aeruginosa infected controls. Results: (1) P. jirovecii was detected via sputum PCR in 10 (4.4%) of 226 samples tested from 111 patients. P. jirovecii was more likely to be detected in samples taken from an acute pulmonary exacerbation compared with samples taken from stable patient visits (7 (9.2%) of 76 exacerbations samples versus 3 (2%) of 150 stable visit samples, p = 0.033). (2) Prevalence of M. abscessus was stable at ?3.6% from 2010 to 2015. 21 patients (91.3%) with a positive culture for M. abscessus since 2010 were infected with M. abscessus subsp abscessus. 2 clusters of 7 and 6 patients harboured strains with identical variable number tandem repeat profiles and some of these patients had opportunities for cross infection to occur. 28.6% of patients developed M. abscessus pulmonary disease, 38.1% were persistently culture positive with no related pulmonary disease, and 33.3% spontaneously cleared M. abscessus from their sputum. (3) Prevalence of Gram-negative EP ranged from 1.9% (Ralstonia spp.) to 6.2% (B. multivorans). Small numbers of patients shared strains of B. multivorans; Stenotrophomonas S. maltophilia and Achromobacter; Ralstonia and Pandoraea species. Epidemiological connections consistent with possible cross infection were found in patients infected with Pandoraea and Ralstonia species. (4) Patients with B. multivorans; S. maltophilia; Ralstonia spp. and Pandoraea spp. had higher antibiotic requirements than P. aeruginosa infected matched controls. B. multivorans; Achromobacter spp.; Ralstonia spp. and Pandoraea spp patients had median FEV1 (% predicted) values ?10% (absolute) lower than the overall median FEV1.Conclusion: Prevalence of all EP investigated at MACFC was low. P. jirovecii was approximately 5 times more likely to be detected in patients with acute PEx compared with stable patients suggesting it may be a cause of PEx. Results suggest that some patients attending MACFC may have acquired infection with M. abscessus subsp abscessus, Pandoraea spp. or Ralstonia spp. through cross infection. Patient numbers are too small to establish this with certainty and a common environmental source is possible. Gram-negative EP other than Achromobacter spp. were associated with higher acute antibiotic requirements than P. aeruginosa matched controls suggesting these EP are associated with an increased risk of PEx. The fact that many Gram-negative EP were associated with lower median lung function may indicate that these EP cause accelerated lung function decline or that patients with more advanced disease are at most risk of acquiring EP." @default.
