Our CF community is growing. Today, because more people with cystic fibrosis are living longer into adulthood, there are nearly 40,000 people with CF in the U.S., and an estimated 105,000 people diagnosed with CF across 94 countries.

Flashback Friday: an antibiogram with all strains of S.aureus susceptible to methicillin! Also, it’s striking to see how limited was the armamentarium for Pseudomonas. #CFprogress

Happy Clinical Trials Day! Thank you to all people with CF who volunteer and give of themselves to help develop therapies and make progress towards a cure.
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation@CF_Foundation20 May 2022
As a clinical trial volunteer, you are paving the way for new treatments. Learn more about participating in a trial, and search for trials that may be right for you and your family. on.cff.org/3PB62VG

Friday Flashback to 50 years ago: of these inhaled antibiotics, only nebulized colistin is routinely used today. #CFprogress #1972

Thank you to all of the nurses who have taught me and worked alongside me to help all people living with CF to thrive in their daily lives!
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation@CF_Foundation6 May 2022
Nurses play a critical role in caring for people with cystic fibrosis. On #NationalNursesDay, we thank all nurses for everything they do to provide care and support for the CF community.

Friday Flashback: the armamentarium of antibiotics targeting Staph aureus in CF has also grown since 1972; the emergence of MRSA has also impacted therapeutic options. #CFprogress
Excellent opportunity for aligning CF research goals in the HEMT era. #CFprogress

Friday night flashback: displayed below are 6 antibiotics used to target P. aeruginosa in the early 1970s. In the last 50-years the anti-pseudomonas armamentarium has expanded and led, in part, to the significant survival improvement seen in the pre-modulator era. #CFprogress

Tailoring therapies for individuals with CF is a core principle of the CF multidisciplinary team. Collaborating with patients and care team members is a continual highlight of my role. #CFprogress #NotDoneYet

Looking forward to meeting up with many nationwide colleagues involved in CF clinical trials. We continue efforts so that ALL people with CF have access to effective therapies! #CFprogress

Flashback Friday: throat cultures to monitor the colonizing organisms in CF continue to reveal a similar microbiome as in 1970. In this HEMT era, throat cultures have become increasingly necessary as sputum expectoration has become less easy to achieve. #CFprogess

According to the 2020 Patient Registry Handout, between 2016 and 2020 the median predicted survival age was 50 years – reflecting the continued progress we’re making in the fight against cystic fibrosis. Explore more in the 2020 Patient Registry Handout: on.cff.org/2020-Patient-Regi…
A graphic shows a chart illustrating an increase in the median predicted survival age. Text on the image reads, “Between 2016 and 2020, the median predicted survival age was 50 years, up from 2015 and 2019, which was 46.2 years. This means that half of individuals born in the years from 2016 to 2020 are predicted to live beyond 50 years of age assuming present trends continue.”

Friday Flashback to 1972: inhaled antibiotics were a somewhat nascent therapeutic option for PwCF. We now have many FDA-approved therapies for use. 🧫🚿 #CFprogress

Saturday Flashback 😉: Fortunately, the armamentarium for Pseudomonas has expanded since 1972; however, monitoring for toxicities remains important. #CFprogress

Additionally as antibiotic-resistance has increased, we need to continue to support the development of novel anti-infective therapies. cff.org/press-releases/2021-…

CF Foundation Affirms Support of the Introduction of the PASTEUR Act

Proposed legislation has the potential to revitalize the global marketplace for novel antibiotics, bringing urgently needed medicines for drug-resistant infections to patients.
