Abstract
In summary, epidemiologic studies have shown that pathogens, other than Burkholderia spp., can be transmitted among individuals with CF, resulting in adverse clinical outcomes, including increased morbidity and mortality. The updated guideline is a response to new knowledge and new challenges in both IP&C and CF. The primary objective of the guideline is to provide recommendations to reduce the risk of transmission and acquisition of CF pathogens by individuals with CF and to provide a more comprehensive understanding of effective strategies to optimize safety for this unique population.
