Project description
The present study aims to characterize the predominant members of the intsetinal flora of a group of cystic fibrosis patients and to compare these with the flora of siblings without the cystic fibrosis phenotype. The effect of frequent and combined antibiotic use on the development of antibiotic resistances in the commensal colonflora of a group of cystic fibrosis patients will also be studied.
