Fecal isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was observed in 8 of 10 patients with cystic fibrosis who at the time of sampling also exhibited colonization of the respiratory tract. In contrast, P. aeruginosa cells were isolated at low frequency (9.1%) from the stools of 44 patients with cystic fibrosis with no previous history of chronic colonization. The results of this study suggest that the gastrointestinal tract is not a significant chronic reservoir of P. aeruginosa prior to pulmonary colonization.
在10例囊性纤维化患者中,有8例在采样时呼吸道存在定植,其粪便中分离出铜绿假单胞菌。相比之下,44例既往无慢性定植史的囊性纤维化患者粪便中铜绿假单胞菌的分离频率较低(9.1%)。本研究结果表明,在肺部定植之前,胃肠道并非铜绿假单胞菌的重要慢性储存库。
