Is it true that chronic colonization and infection of the lung with Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis patients?
Yes. Multiple studies and reviews confirm that chronic colonization and infection of the lung with Pseudomonas aeruginosa are major drivers of morbidity, mortality, and pulmonary decline in cystic fibrosis patients.

Evidence for · 6
Demonstrates that chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization leads to an exaggerated immune response associated with progressive pulmonary damage and declining lung function in cystic fibrosis patients.
