Popis: The control of respiratory tract infections in cystic fibrosis has for many years utilized a wide range of antibiotics. The effect of administering one or more antibiotics to combat an invading organism has, as might be expected, been variable. We have attempted here to determine some of the factors that are responsible for these variations in the hope that a more effective chemotherapeutic control might result. The cases studied in this series were limited to those with extensive lung damage, as only in these cases could enough sputum be obtained for assay purposes. The results we have obtained, therefore, do not indicate the value of the test antibiotic in prophylaxis.
