Abstract

Diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB), a chronic lung disease characterized by persistent P. aeruginosa infection, serves as an informative comparator to more common chronic lung diseases, such as cystic fibrosis (CF). This study aimed to better address the interplay between P. aeruginosa and chronically compromised airway environments through the examination of DPB P. aeruginosa strains, as existing literature regarding DPB is limited to case reports, case series, and clinical treatment guidelines. The evaluation of these features in the context of DPB, in tandem with prevailing knowledge of P. aeruginosa strains collected from more common chronic lung diseases (e.g., CF), can aid in the development of more effective strategies to combat respiratory P. aeruginosa infections in patients with chronic lung diseases.
