Additionally, individuals with CF who have ever had a confirmed positive sputum culture for Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia) or who have cultured Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) within the past two years, or who are currently culturing a bacterium resistant to all antibiotics (pan resistant) may not attend our sessions in person due to the cross-infection risks to others with CF.

  4. Zoe Davies wrote and requested updates (one short paragraph maximum) from the adult and pediatric advisory boards for the CF newsletter:
    How about something like this for our ACFAC?
    In the Adult CF Advisory Council's (ACFAC) first years, they've successfully encouraged the new Adult CF Center to start an Adult CF Support Group and created forms to give patients tools to communicate their medical routine and wishes to the CF team. The ACFAC asks that adult CF patients and their families contact the council and make use of this unique resource and avenue for direct communication.
