    Author: Ferrer A, Tórtola MT, Cobos N, González T, Fernández F.
    Journal: Enferm Infecc Microbiol Clin; 1992 Jan; 10(1):34-8. PubMed ID: 1498172.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: We have studied the bacteriology of mucoviscidosis cases from 1985 to 1989. MATERIAL: A total of 336 samples from 50 patients (median age: 7 year, range: 1 day-18 years) with mucoviscidosis were studied. RESULTS: The most frequently isolated microorganisms was Pseudomonas aeruginosa (59.2%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (19%) and Haemophilus influenzae (18.4%). In patients younger than 1 year of age other different microorganisms were identified in 61.1% of cases, but S. aureus (11.1%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.5%) were also isolated. The incidence of Pseudomonas cepacia (0.6%) is low in our environment. We did not isolate any Legionella sp. strain.
